Dreams take flight in Flight Path, an artwork that captures the essence of boundless imagination and the pursuit of adventure. With paper planes soaring against a sky of billowing clouds, the figures suspended mid-air embody the spirit of exploration—leaping into the unknown with childlike wonder.

Drawing from themes of nostalgia and aspiration, this piece reflects the delicate balance between freedom and structure, risk and reward. The ladders stand as both launchpads and grounding points, reminding us of the stepping stones we take toward our dreams. The aviation helmets, a recurring motif in my work, symbolize both the courage and vulnerability required to navigate life’s great journey.

Flight Path invites the viewer to reconnect with the thrill of possibility. It is a celebration of movement, of taking the leap, and of finding joy in the journey itself.
