The sculpture record identifies Flight Log as a bound cast-paper object with burnt-umber pigment, printed text on Nepalese handmade paper, and silk cord. Its exact archival photograph is shown uncropped and preserves the partially open book-like form.
Zarina’s four-line Flight Log text and her later biographical reflection remain available in the Life chapter as accompanying words. The object record and photograph do not establish that every visible cast-paper leaf carries that complete poem, so literary attribution is kept separate from the physical description.

Visitors can read the attributed words in context without treating the page photograph as a transcription of the sculpture.
