Statement - "Flight"
There is something deeply embedded in our consciousness
about flight, of being airborne high above, where boundaries
become arbitrary and meaningless. With this all-encompassing
view, flight's ultimate and most valuable gift, we are
able to see ourselves and each other in light of our
greatest and smallest accomplishments and are offered
a temporary sanctuary from every day life on the ground.
These were my thoughts when I began this work.
But
because history makes for cruel ironies, I believe in
the end this work speaks mostly about the acute pragmatism
inherent in human nature and the fact that, when we
set the course to explore, examine, and define, we must
realize that nothing remains entirely the same and there
is no turning back.
