Wings of Thought

Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine sketches unfold like a dream of flight rendered in ink. In this Slow Art video, delicate lines and looping annotations hover on parchment, revealing a mind in motion. Feathers, pulleys, and wing spans are drawn with both science and poetry. Each frame invites quiet wonder at the intersection of imagination and invention, where human ambition first took shape as the flight of birds, translated into visionary design.
