About this artwork
Beginning and ending with an homage to Wim Wenders' film “Wings of Desire”, the story of a love stricken angel, Flight Principle presents a large range of imagery, from the mirrored mechanical flight patterns of agitated honey bees to an attacking hawk, animated under “the skin” of a hill. The fight-or-flight response is a biological response of animals to acute stress due to conflict in response to real or imagined danger.
