"Flight Trial" explores the romantic notion of flight before the invention of fixed-wing aircraft, where the idea of soaring with dual wings symbolized the fantasy of achieving flight. Much like the passion described in the Icarus myth, where the protagonist spreads his wings to reach for freedom, this imaginative concept, though impractical by modern scientific standards, retains a sense of romance. "Flight Trial" differs from the challenges posed by aerospace technology, focusing instead on the artistic interpretation of imagined flying apparatus. It seeks to define, through the whimsical musings of a kinetic artist, what exactly constitutes the essence of "flight."
