Intercontinental Jump

Description:

This artwork is inspired by the Cairns to Papua New Guinea Qantas flight, dated 10 January 2013, in which a passenger looking through the window discovered a 3-meter python on the plane wing. While I was living in Australia, I heard and read all kinds of anecdotes about Australian wildlife, having concluded that everything is possible there. This work, the first in the series, represents that when we travel something changes inside. In my case, that was an increase in my passion for the wild and virgin nature The airline logo shows Mount Uluru’s silhouette, under the six stars of the Australian flag, and a moon shaped like a boomerang, representing the aboriginal culture.

 

Significance of the artwork:

Given the strange event, and that many of the passengers on the Qantas flight ended their journey without knowing that there was a snake on the wing, the meaning that I concede to this work is that surprise is always present in our daily lives, but you need to be observant to discover it.

 

Awarded in three international competitions.
