On the Wings of Freedom

A group of radiant butterflies, that hovers with hundreds at a time in a flight upwards. On the Wings of Freedom is about the impressive way technology changes us as a society and how little we think about it.

On the Wings of Freedom is also about the transformation of our city. The butterflies are an advice from the artists: keep that change going, it is what cities are all about. It is said that one butterfly can cause a storm. Let’s hope that all these butterflies together create a hurricane of light and creativity.
