I Dreamed I Could Fly (1993) 

Jonathan Borofsky

DESCRIPTION:  sculptural installation of 6 painted fiberglass figures, suspended from the ceiling over the Metro rail platform

Borofsky's six figures suspended from the subway ceiling are intended to reflect Borofsky's own personal feelings and experience, as expressed in his Artist's Statement for the piece: "I’ve had quite a few flying dreams in my lifetime. Many other people I’ve spoken to have had similar dreams. Sometimes I fly above it all, serene and rather enlightened…other times my flying dreams seem more like an escape from earthly concerns.”
