The piece is called "Daydream of the Faceless Worker", and as soon as I saw it I admired it and related to it a little. Not to say that Toyota treats me like a faceless worker, in fact they value our individuality and strengths more than many companies would, but sometimes the mundane office environment needs to be counteracted by a little creativity. The wings of the piece are composed of 4,000 post it notes. There are no images of the work fully completed, but you get the idea from these two. The artist statement about the work?
