Often featuring heavy use of blue tones, with the sky or birds being central elements in many of its composition, the Paper Airplane series aim to capture the pure yet fragile feeling of hope amidst a seemingly endless obstacles in life.

Paper Airplane mainly uses rough brushstrokes and, in some pieces, an alla prima use of colors inspired by the Impressionist movement. Most of the pieces have the intentional sense of something being unrefined, as if the scene itself is painted in a hurry before the emotion fades.

The name Paper Airplane itself was a nod to the symbolism of paper airplane and to the very first artwork of the series “Flying the Paper Airplane”. First created as a student project, it became the primary series of Aurora’s solo exhibition “Breaking Through” in 2018.
