Earlier this year I had the privilege to stay at the TWA Hotel, located at the JFK Airport, for the first time. Utilizing the Eero Saarinen designed Flight Center of the 60s, the hotel is a step back in time and truly has my heart. I wanted to capture the memory and dream-like essence of the experience, as pictures can’t compare to the sheer depth and wonder of the actual place. In doing so, I pulled elements from Saarinen’s design and placed them together to create a portal to a curated environment that previously only existed in my imagination.
