Launch Intention
-ON DISPLAY NOW-
At Marina Green, where the sky is alive with motion; from birds to the aircraft of Fleet Week, Launch Intention invites us to reconnect with a more personal act of flight.
A paper airplane, a symbol of play, innocence, and possibility, becomes monumental here, echoing the planes above while grounding us in the origins of our own dreams.
In a place where thousands look up in awe, this work turns us inward, asking: What are you ready to launch?
It offers a space for reflection, expression, and shared intention, honoring both collective experience and personal truth.
Here, optimism and hope are practiced. Self. Community. Support. Vulnerability. Accountability.
Like the planes overhead, we are all in motion.
To free yourself.
To set intention.
And to launch; into action, connection, and the world.
About the Artist
For over a decade, Griffin Loop has created large-scale, site-specific works across the United States in both private and public sectors. His practice focuses on realizing the experiential potential of a setting - using art and design to shape how people move through and connect with space, creating lasting impressions that define identity and foster stewardship.
Each work is developed in direct response to its environment - land, architecture, and human presence - integrating seamlessly while influencing how space is perceived, navigated, and inhabited. His approach centers on guiding experience intuitively, creating moments that invite reflection and participation.
Griffin’s foundation began building ski lifts alongside his father, developing a deep understanding of large-scale structural systems in extreme environments. In his twenties, he went on to design and build freestyle terrain parks and event environments for leading resorts, brands, and athletes.
In 2013, he joined Summit Series, where he designed environments to foster connection and inspiration. During this time, he created his first large-scale artwork: a 50-foot metal paper airplane titled Launch Intention. This work evolved into an ongoing nationwide sculpture project engaging communities, particularly youth, in clarifying and sharing intention, and has been featured at international art fairs and on CBS Sunday Morning.
Since 2016, Griffin has worked independently, collaborating with municipalities, institutions, developers, and private clients to create installations that activate space and deepen engagement. His work is driven by the pursuit of potential within environments, individuals, and shared experience.
