The Flying #4 by Ilja Kabakov, created in 2006, is a tapestry that captures a surreal scene of a man floating horizontally above a cityscape, as if in flight. Rendered in muted blue and earthy tones, the piece evokes a sense of dreamlike freedom and introspection, with the figure hovering above detailed buildings and rooftops that stretch towards the horizon. The simplicity of the color palette and the texture of the tapestry enhance the contemplative mood, drawing attention to the contrast between grounded urban life below and the solitary figure soaring above. Kabakov’s work often explores themes of escapism, isolation, and the human desire for transcendence, making this piece a powerful visual metaphor for liberation and the yearning to break free from constraints.

A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art.
