  • Luca Iaconi-Stewart can spend years making a paper plane. That might seem like a long time, but his paper planes aren’t made from a single sheet of paper, and they aren’t your average paper planes. This meticulous designer crafts astonishingly detailed replicas of 777 airplanes using manila folders, glue and an X-Acto knife. That’s it. It’s a painstaking process-Luca builds everything from the hundreds of seats inside the plane to intricate moving parts, including landing gear. Now boarding Luca’s paper 777.

      From the mist, a shape, a ship, is taking form
      And the silence of the sea is about to drift into a storm
      Sign of power, show of force
      Raise the anchor, battleship's plotting its course
      Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel
      Bismarck in motion, king of the ocean
      He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas
      To lead the war machine
      To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine
      The terror of the seas
      The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine
      Two thousand men, and fifty thousand tons of steel
      Set the course for the Atlantic with the allies on their heel
      Firepower, firefight
      Battle Stations, keep the targets steady in sight
      Into formation, the hunt has begun
      Death and damnation, the fleet is coming
      He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas
      To lead the war machine
      To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine
      The terror of the seas
      The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine
      At the bottom of the ocean, the depths of the abyss
      They are bound by iron and blood
      The flagship of the navy, the terror of the seas
      His guns have gone silent at last
      Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel
      Bismarck in motion, king of the ocean
      He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas
      To lead the war machine
      To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine
      The terror of the seas
      The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine
      To lead the war machine
      Rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine
      The terror of the seas
      Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine
      To lead the war machine
      Rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine
      The terror of the seas

    The most fascinating thing about this story is the complete surrender to his passion. He wants to do this. This is what he wants to spend his time in. Sure he has a job but it feels like his jobs role is to give him food, shelter, manila folders, glue, and exacto knife. It paid for the table I'm sure too. But outside that, I sense that he fully commits to his craft. At least that is what his work suggests.
    A lot of us live with constant anxiety whether or not we are making use of our time wisely. He teaches us to let go of that and just be who you are and make no apologies for how you are spending your time. His work is a true reflection of himself. True, humble, simple (like a manila folder) but consciously and skillfully arranged in a certain way that creates a mind boggling artistic expression. He lives his life more from the inside-out rather most of us who look outward-in to define ourselves. Fascinating.
