Aeros Takes Flight in Aix en Provence

Every once in a while we come across really
unique projects that take street art to another level (Dan Witz, Swoon,
Joystick…)

This is one of those projects.

Some background: Aeros, who is originally from Baltimore MD,
has been studying abroad in Aix en Provence, in the South of France (we’re
extremely jealous!) Aix is the home of some amazing artists, including one of
our favorites, St. Arsky.

href="http://www.fotolog.net/aeros">Aeros has been has been painting a
series of angel wings on wall all over Aix. Each one has a little has a little
message in the midde. She tells us—“The whole concept behind these wings is
that anyone, anywhere should be able to step back from everyday life and be able
to fly…this isn’t an angel deal, its more of seeing wings as freedom and
thought.”

There are a few “categories” for the wings:

/>La Liberte: Freedom
1. Place yourself in front of these
wings
2. Close your eyes
3. Fly
(these are a series of yellow
pairs of wings, and also a series of green wings under the clouds)

/>Baby Blue Wings
For the kids who want to fly, too
/>
Le Repos: The Rest
1. Sit in front of these
wings
2. Breathe
3. Lose yourself in your imagination


/>



/>L’Attente: The Wait
1. Lean against these wings
2.
Take in your surroundings
3. Wander through your thoughts
These are
usually green “sideways” wings
