Installation by Mauricio Affonso and photographer Liz Wolfe for Come Up To My Room 2009, Gladstone Hotel's annual alternative design event.                                                                         

For this installation Mauricio constructed a three meters hot air balloon made of colorful tissue paper. A technique Mauricio mastered as a child when he used to create and launch paper hot air balloons during Brazil's traditional celebration of Festa Junina.
