We present the proper motion study of the thin filaments observed in L'-band (3.8 μm) adaptive optics images of the central parsec of the Milky Way. Observed filaments are associated with the mini-spiral and, in some cases, with stars. They can be interpreted as shock fronts formed by the interaction of a central wind with the mini-spiral or extended dusty stellar envelopes.
