Ranu Mukherjee - When the Path Through the Atmosphere is Longer, 2021

UV inkjet print, silk and cotton sari cloth, laminated glass and aluminum composite

Ranu Mukherjee's epic, eye-catching mixed-media work When the Path Through the Atmosphere is Longer was installed at SFO Airport's International Terminal G in February of this year.

"When the Path Through the Atmosphere is Longer is inspired by the feeling of being suspended in time and space during long-haul air travel and seeing two sunrises or sunsets in the same day. The image is collaged from printed sari cloth – a diasporic object that is rooted in Indian culture and suggests the movement of bodies. Included in the composition are depictions of the Arctic Tern, known for its long yearly migration, and the hummingbird, which is native to the Americas." (San Francisco Arts Commission)

Elements of this work were printed at Magnolia Editions in 2021; our neighbors Lenehan Architectural Glass also worked on the project.
