In 1918, Mole & Thomas choreographed 12,500 officers, nurses, and soldiers at Camp Gordon, Georgia into this impossibly precise formation of an American eagle mid-spread. Patriotic performance art or early drone-less spectacle - it’s a flex either way. Send to someone who always pulls off the impossible with style (and maybe a little military discipline).
