A pointalized portrait of each victim of The
Green River Killer was made and then
photocopied. The portraits were then cut out by
hand and placed by hand to make a portrait of
Gary Ridgeway. There are almost 12,000 victim

The center is run by the September 11th Families Association as a museum and memorial to the victims and history of the World Trade Center and the 9/11/2001 attacks.
