Corday 's current works include a permanent abstract installation series entitled '' HELDAN '' as well as the production of a monumental outdoor form , '' INSTRUMENT FOR THE OCEAN TO PLAY '' , that harvests tidal power to create a low-frequency sound . In 2000 , Corday moved her studio from Tokyo , Japan to Seville , Spain . The years in Spain ( 2000 – 2004 ) , Corday 's palette was limited to black . Corday created her own paint mulling raw pigment and charcoal into a synthetic polymer base to create a tar-like substance and fabricated tools for its application to raw linen and canvas . Corday moved back to the United States in 2005 to a studio in Greenpoint , Brooklyn , New York . She created a series of painted works as abstract blueprints for the form '' HELDAN '' and the PROTOIST Series . In 2009 , Corday 's painted work entitled '' THAHLES '' ( 72 × 216 inches ) was acquired by the Richard Meier collection installed at 165 Charles Street , New York City , New York . And in 2013 , '' PROME '' was acquired by the collection of Skidmore , Owings & Merrill ’s San Francisco office , overseen by Craig W. Hartman . < ! -- Deleted image removed : As seen in " Making the 9/11 Memorial " documentary by History ( TV channel ) and " Rising , Rebuilding Ground Zero " documentary series by the Discovery Channel , National September 11 Memorial architect Michael Arad selected Corday 's black patina for the finish of the bronze name parapets which carry the 2,983 victims names from the September 11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing .
