One Thousand Means of Escape by S. Astrid Bin
This installation featuring 1,000 paper airplanes are meant to evoke a flock of birds, caught in mid-flight, but it reminds me of stars flying by at warp speed. I’m still saddened by the painful fact that I will never live long enough to see paper spacecraft technology progress that far though :(
