Oculus: A Soaring Symbol of Hope at Ground Zero 🕊️🏙️🇺🇸

#summervacay Rising from the heart of Ground Zero, the Oculus—a striking white, bird-like train station—stands as a powerful symbol of resilience and hope. Built after the 9/11 attacks, it’s part of the World Trade Center redevelopment, alongside the memorial pools and museum that honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the 1993 and 2001 tragedies. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the structure blends organic curves with futuristic lines, resembling a bird taking flight. Its radiant white interior and soaring skylight evoke both peace and rebirth—making it not just a transport hub, but a place of quiet reflection and strength. #groundzero #oculusnyc #wtcmemorial #911memorial #newyorkarchitecture #travelreflectively #myitinerary
