38 1/2x24 1/2 inches, 97 3/4x62 cm.

A clever and subtle promotion for the Australian airline, in which the shadow of an airplane passes over a geometric, colorful and laconic beach tableau. Within the scene, Qantas' logo is visible on a beach bag, and an open magazine promotes the idyllic concepts of "sunshine and surf."
