Original artwork description:

Though the jet age spelled adventure for an elite sisterhood of pretty, single, bright, young women known as stewardesses, it wasn’t all glamour and globetrotting. These women were subject to intense physicals, regular weigh-ins and charm school training… as well as pinching and grabbing by passengers while in the air as airlines advertisements like "Fly Me" perpetuated the image of call girls in the sky.

A contrail is an aircraft condensation trail that appears as line-shaped clouds in the sky.

Materials used:

MDO, Vintage airplane window, Plexi, Color print, Acrylic, photo transfer, isolation coat, varnish
