Norie Sato’s imagery was inspired by our relationship to clouds and flight. Specifically, her work delves into some of flight’s inherent qualities: ephemeral, abstract, pictorial, natural, man-made, symmetrical and changeable. The artwork depicts the dual experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. According to the artist, “Air Over Under is about perception, relativity and how our position and situations are never static.” See “Air Over Under” by Norie Sato on display pre-security outside Terminal 2 and online at: https://bit.ly/3gWJCOA This image was posted on March 10, 2022.
