Launch Intention

COLLABORATE

LAUNCHING DREAMS INTO REALITIES

Expanding the Flight Path

We invite artists, designers, writers, and athletes from around the world to co-create culturally rooted interpretations of the Paper Airplane. Each collaboration becomes a localized expression of intention—shaped by community, environment, and personal narrative—while contributing to a shared global vision.

At its core, this is about giving people a platform to physically launch their ideas into the world.

The Concept

The Paper Airplane is a universal symbol—simple, human, and accessible. It represents the moment where thought becomes action.

Through collaboration, each aircraft becomes:
  • A canvas for cultural identity
  • A vessel for storytelling
  • A landmark for community gathering
  • A catalyst for conversation and connection
No two planes are the same—because no two communities are the same.

 

How Artists Engage

WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?

We partner with artists across disciplines to reinterpret the sculpture through their own lens.Collaborations may include:

  • Visual artists painting or finishing large-scale planes
  • Writers embedding language, poetry, or messages into the work
  • Designers reimagining surface, texture, & space
  • Digital artists extending the project into AR, motion, & on site projection

Each artist brings their voice, while staying anchored to the core idea: launching intention into the world.

SELECTED ARTISTS ARE FEATURED ACROSS
  • Permanent public installations
  • Touring exhibitions (Art Basel, LA Art Show, etc.)
  • Limited-edition product collaborations
  • Digital storytelling and global media

Athletes as Cultural Amplifiers

Athletes play a unique role in this ecosystem. They are modern storytellers—deeply connected to place, discipline, and mindset. We collaborate with athletes who align with the spirit of Launch Intention:

  • Snowboarders, surfers, skaters, riders, defensive ends, point guards, strikers, goalies and anyone who's shaping culture from the ground up
  • Individuals who understand progression, risk, and vision
  • Voices who can carry intention into new audiences and environments

Athletes As Artists:

  • Co-create or commission planes in their home communities
  • Participate in launches, installations, and storytelling campaigns
  • Collaborate on product lines tied to movement and performance
  • Help activate sculptures as gathering points for events and experiences

Global Network, Local Impact

Each installation becomes part of a growing global network—connected by purpose, but grounded in place. From mountain towns to urban centers, from schools to remote landscapes:

  • Communities gather around each sculpture
  • Intentions are written, shared, and launched
  • Dialogue is sparked across cultures and generations

The result is a living, evolving map of human intention—expressed through art.

Why It Matters

In a fragmented, digitally-focused world, Launch Intention creates shared in-person moments.

It gives people:

  • A reason to gather
  • A platform to express
  • A symbol to believe in

By collaborating with artists and athletes, we amplify creativity as a force for connection—and turn individual ideas into collective momentum.
