This is an architectural stained glass commission I did about 1984. It is a complex composition of semi-abstract images created with colored coordinated glass. The lettering was sand blasted on blue glass. It incorporates a harmonious design that unifies this religious theme.

The Rainbow Towers
" I created this design for the proposed new WTC in Lower Manhattan site as a rainbow that caps two towers that are about the same size as the former ones unifying them. Each of the 3 colored sections would be made of many panes of colored semi transparent glass. At night it would be lit up by lights from inside. Within there would be an garden, a place to repose. The rainbow would symbolize hope and give a sense of optimism, like the rainbow after a rainstorm." M.Gorenstein
