Permanence of Change
by Flo Art Collective
Exhibition Dates: Through December 2024
Location: Post-Security, near gates E34 and 36
Two static pieces that harness movement and human interaction, mimicking the energy of how individuals flow in and out of their own lives like tourists are what travelers can view as they are moving down the walkways in Terminal 2. The works explore deeper connections to the history of the landscape and the fabric of time that weaves together the past, present, and future. The works on display by Flo Art Collective are through the lenses of four collaborating Artists, all transplants to the region, who are multi and transdisciplinary in their practices. Travelers can feel the connection with these stunning works as the cotton fabric prints move with them on their journey through the airport.
