After September 11, Costa sought to rework the piece as a memorial. "Grace" is composed of 16 neon rings measuring 54" x 60" and held in position vertically, reaching a height of 15 feet. Individual strips of paper representing each victim of September 11 are scattered randomly around the base of the light tower carrying the name of a victim, his or her age, employer and job title, as well as where he or she was at the time of the attacks. Visitors are encouraged to pick up and take a strip of paper with them. As the strips of paper become dispersed and completely disappear, the names are replaced.
