About this Art Collection

Terminal 2 West Ticketing Lobby, Upper Level (pre-security)

As a complement to Sunlight Juxtaposed, Paper Vortex adds additional color and fantasy to this spacious new terminal. A piece of paper riding on a breeze cavorts and folds itself, forming first a paper airplane and finally an Origami crane. This charming evolving process has become the artist’s trademark. With its directional shapes and flowing rhythm, the piece is designed to lead travelers through the ticketing counters and onto far off destinations.
