His ears began aching very annoyingly, and everything in his sight looked cheap and functional. The person next to him got his laptop out and due to the lack of space and fear of touching a stranger was tipping arms stuck to his body like a T.Rex. He felt sick. The manmade metallic and plastic bird was a perfect trap device, there was no place to go. All passengers must endure and sit through. Flying in Ryanair, he realized that Security instructions were printed on the back of each seat, apparently Ryanair can’t afford printing them in Cardboards.

There is certain appeal to quotidian standardized objects. Flight safety cards are one of those. I was looking forward to own an extended international collection of small simplified colourful people crawling on the floor while wearing life saving vests and helping others their oxygen masks after putting theirs first. Life vests worn by women in Saris (please see Air India flight safety card copy attached in the brown envelope), or with headscarves (see Air Oman) or instructions in Indonesian (Lion Air), or that in the Brazilian flights (Gol and Azul) floatable seat cushions are a viable alternative to life vests. The making of the kite returns this objects to the air and the heights where they belong.
