WHEN PAPER PLANES STOP CATCHING WIND
A giant paper plane appears to have collapsed to the ground. Made of steel, this one is not about to fly away. The origami airplane here invokes the sometimes-difficult transition from childhood to adulthood. When we are kids, the world is a vast playground that we build with our free-running imaginations. When we reach maturity and the time comes to take flight, the burden or reality weighs down on our daydreaming.
