Have you ever looked up at a beautiful, clear sky, only to see captivating streaks of white against the dazzling blue? Those are contrails, and they’re the inspiration behind this impressive sculpture right here. It’s called Contrails, Stainless Steel, 2017, and it’s a masterpiece of modern sculpture that stands tall here at Dallas Love Field International Airport. Made of over 1,000 individual stainless steel bars, the sculpture’s sleek lines stretch towards the sky, mimicking the shapes and fluidity of contrails left by airplanes soaring above.
