Springville

KAYSVILLE — The clay model depicting a firefighter looking heavenward on bended knee while holding a small child in his arms is symbolic of the events that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001.

The 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., resulted in the deaths of 2,996 people.

Springville artist Angela Johnson has been commissioned for $8,000 to create a 10-foot-tall bronze-cast sculpture capturing the emotions of the event.

Johnson’s statue, titled “Heroes of 9-11 Protecting the Future,” will be the finishing touch on the 9/11 memorial being created at Utah State University Botanical Gardens, 875 S. 50 West, in Kaysville.
