- Commissioned for the Philadelphia International Airport, Flyventures is a journey into the joys and adventures of flight. The two large-scale murals contain a collection of colorful images that celebrate humanity's longstanding efforts to master the sky. A three-dimensional sculpture of a Chinese elder flying a kite projects from the mural to depict one of the earliest forms of flight technology, while the opposite mural shows an astronaut holding a cable to a space shuttle.
