The airplane is designed to serve and protect the human body in extreme conditions. Endangered wildlife is forced to deal with radical changes in a world of total exploitation of resources for the benefit of mankind.
This panoramic staged flight forms a scenic manipulation in which the local endangered species occupy man’s ark. As opposed to the ordinary, ‘Turbulence’ does not not bridge between destinations but between fragile realities. The scene asks who is truly the savage? Man or nature?
The drawing which is 11 meters long portrays a variety of local endangered plants and animals inside a passenger aircraft's interior. The panoramic view was exhibited at the Edmond de Rothschild Center on Rothschild Blvd. in Tel Aviv during the spring of 2021.
