Vivere est Volare
by Tom Huck
Location: Terminal 1, Near Gate C15
For this piece, Huck took the concept of old fashioned tattoo flash and combined it with images of birds of prey. He chose birds of prey because of their heavy use in traditional tattoo flash and because they are in keeping with the theme of flight relating to the nature of this project.
In the center panel, a bald eagle holds a banner reading: “VIVERE EST VOLARE” – to live is to fly. The two side panels depict birds of prey at dawn and dusk. As a whole, the design of the panels represents a fusion of Huck’s interests in stained glass windows, traditional tattoo flash and Northern Renaissance woodcuts of the 1400s.
