"So in the case of Antonio Dorsey Pratt, the image that we got is a snapshot of him with a group of co-workers at another employment location, so it was well previous to 2001. And in order to focus on his beautiful face, a lot of work had to be done to zero in and enlarge and enlarge to the point where it could be appropriate for the scale of the installation."

"And so, yes, it's slightly blurry. But, you know, what was there before was an oak leaf representing one of the victims in oak leaf, because we have oak trees all over the memorial plaza to represent him. But now he is represented with a face that is recognizable and beautiful, even if it's a little pixelated."

STORYLINE:
The final photo of a victim of the 9/11 terrorist attacks was placed on the memorial wall Wednesday at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. An empty space marked with an image of an oak leaf had held the spot for Antonio Dorsey Pratt for years.
"What we're doing today really marks the culmination of a process that began almost 16 years ago when we began work on the just even imagining what the 9/11 Memorial & Museum would be and what it would contain," Alice Greenwald, CEO of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum said.
On Sept. 11, 2001, Pratt was working for Cantor Fitzgerald Forte Food Service on the 101st Floor of the North Tower. Pratt's picture is from "a snapshot... with a group of co-workers" taken before he worked in the North Tower.
"In order to focus on his beautiful face, a lot of work had to be done to zero in and enlarge and enlarge to the point where it could be appropriate for the scale of the installation," Greenwald said. Pratt's image is "blurry and pixilated" but "recognizable" despite all the enhancements, Greenwald said.
The picture containing Pratt was provided to Voices Center for Resilience, an organization started after 9/11 dedicated to remembering the victims, by Pratt's friend.
"This is a chapter in the sense that we were able to provide the last missing photograph for the exhibit," Mary Fetchet, Executive director of Voices Center for Resilience, said. Fetchet lost her 24-year old son Brad on 9/11. He worked as an equity trader in the South Tower.
