About this Art Collection

Terminal 2 Baggage Claim, Ground Level (pre-security)

This whimsical display of several passengers waiting in line opposite the baggage claim offices is sculpted of polyester resin and fiberglass. With suitcases at their sides and hands stuffed into their pockets or crossed over their chests, these figures poke gentle fun at airport passengers’ impatience and endurance. This lovable sculpture group offers busy travelers a comical respite and appeals to them with humor and whimsy.
