The portrait shows a construction worker during a break from work at the World Trade Center reconstruction site in Lower Manhattan. The man, wearing a green helmet, reflective vest and sunglasses, sits pensively in front of the blue tarp delimiting the work area. A small American flag is visible on his vest, symbol of the patriotic significance that the reconstruction of Ground Zero holds for Americans. This image documents the decade-long process of rebuilding the area destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks, a work that involved thousands of workers.
