RECAP 2025 – OTTAVA PARTE
Because of gravity, we are surface dwellers. The surface of the earth is an unattainable boundary that is always below us. We stand on it, walk on it, run on it, lay down on it, build on it and alter it to suit our needs, but we always remain above it. […] Even when inside a cave or on the top floor of a skyscraper, we are still standing on a surface. It isn’t a physical boundary, but rather a change from one state (solid) to another (air).
This universal truth of surface existence establishes three basic concepts: the surface, the sky, and the underground. […] The surface is familiar and common. The sky and the underground are unknown and abstract. Since we’re surface dwellers, we occupy the surface and wonder about the sky and the underground. This curiosity for the unknown has ultimately driven our need for verticality.
