'Flying Boats'

Composition of three to five boats situated in Songdo Beach includes the Project 'Flying Boats' made with natural materials: bamboo and drift woods site specific environmental sculpture installation relative to the theme 'Songdo Beach'.Each boat is about four to five meters long and is situated at about three meters in the air standing on the cross bamboo sticks.The idea is to create sculptures that remind a Surrealistic dream, group of flying boats crossing Songdo Beach. The Boats are frozen in the air waiting for something, and because theyare in the air the illusion is that they fly, dreaming on the Beach like flying south birds (via pontica).
