Parallels is a temporary art project using graphic design and hi-tech printed vinyl to wrap the airport’s shuttle buses. The design is inspired by the mangrove tree, also known as the walking tree, which has its roots holding South Florida together. The artwork, while simple in design, consists of several conceptual layers. It is an image taken from the reflection of mangrove trees at the water’s edge. The images have been duplicated and reversed to create a mirror effect horizontally and vertically. The impression is that the landscape is revealing another dimension, one that is familiar yet unique at the same time, a window into the magic of our environment.
