Inspired by historical documents created the week of September 11, 2001 by grassroots volunteers at the Chelsea Piers Support Center, Pieces of Paper Project tells a moving and hopeful story of the human spirit in action.

Conceived by theater artist and 9/11 volunteer Michael Simon Hall in collaboration with a team of creative artists, the installation, evocative of the New York City skyline, integrates the paper artifacts with video projections, original music and theatrical lighting effects, and a short film entitled "Thank You For Everything" featuring the 9/11 volunteer community, providing an opportunity for reflection on the selfless actions of thousands of grassroots volunteers such as Dr. Arthur Gudeon, Dr. Kathy Reilly Fallon, Dr. Wilma Watts, Rhonda Villamia, Denise Villamia, Steve Boritz, Barbara Horn, Jen Spano, Tamara Smith and many more volunteers that formed the bedrock of the 9/11 recovery efforts.
