Description: Above the Clouds: The title of this artwork is "Above the Clouds". The artwork represents a flamingo in later years when technologies in a basket because maybe flamingos will not be able to fly. Me and my partner used wires as our obsolete object because we felt it went with the futuristic vibes. The balloon represents an orange which ties into Florida because it is known as "The Orange State" and flight is represented by the hot air balloon. The flamingo represents Florida as an iconic symbol of its tropical vibes, tourism and fun. What inspired us to make this was our excitement of the idea of a flamingo. But we had to add more than just a flamingo, so we added a hot air balloon and a cloud to make it more our own.
