This photo appeared in Chang’s photo essay “Jet Lag.” The condensation trails left by departing planes represent the constant state of motion New York seems to be in. In such a busy city, people never spend their time doing nothing, with every second bringing a new assignment, responsibility, fun activity, and insightful production. The maze of paths the trails make capture the confusion and loss of direction many New Yorkers feel. When in such a rush, there is a tendency for one to develop tunnel vision, constantly moving towards ones goal with only that in mind. When it is time to look up, it can be very disorienting. However, the city always moves, never giving that much-needed moment of respite, however brief.
