Borofsky’s work is driven by the ideals of equality and harmony. Made especially for the wide open spaces of the Linde Family Wing, these flying figures “are able to rise up and look down upon the whole planet … [they] see and feel that human beings are all connected together and that we are all one—no divisions and no walls.”
