Flight

    Flight is the journey beyond our limitations. For centuries, we dreamed of flying, marvelling at the freedom of birds and longing to touch the clouds. Since ancient times, we were lured by the magic of flight, yet wary of its strange secrets. Always it was the gods and goddesses who possessed the power of flight, while we humans remained earthbound. The legend of Icarus echoed down the passages of time to warn us of the fate of those who dared to fly. And yet, today, we live in an age of flight. We have taken to the skies and ridden with the wind. We have conquered our fears and opened the aperture of space. What does flight mean to you?
