# Exploding Paper Plane Art Dawn NG's 'I Fly like Paper' is an Incredible Piece of Artwork By Michael Hines | Published 2010-06-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-fly-like-paper References: [nerdlike](http://nerdlike.com/2010/05/23/paper-planes-2/) & [dawn-ng](http://www.dawn-ng.com/new/paperplanes/1.html) Dawn Ng's 'I Fly Like Paper' is an incredible [art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-art-installation) involving thousands of [paper planes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-airplane). Ng created this installation to symbolize the feeling of homesickness. The planes in 'I Fly Like Paper' are released through a [small door](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-installation), much like the feeling of homesickness can be triggered by seeing or remembering a small piece of home. The planes symbolize a wave of emotion rushing in all at once. This sounds a little artsy, but I feel like it rings true.
