From basement to ceiling
Do we see everything clearer from up here? Maybe the action of seeing is not the most important thing in this work, since it consists in an experience which goes beyond this. By contacting what surrounds us, we are trying to make out the meaning of this other world. Through joined physical and chemical senses our souls are connected with their surroundings and with other souls which find themselves in the same search. This is why so many different methods of knowledge systematization have been developed, like philosophy, mathematics and religion which, combined with others such as architecture in order to build real temples, physically elevate us. Since mankind invented the roof as a limit between the sky and the earth, the majority gets confused by ceilings and ends up believing that the sky lies far away in space and is difficult to access. Curiously, only a few realize something obvious: we live surrounded by sky. The sky is constantly present in architectural spaces and we are in permanent contact with it. This idea outlines us as physical and spiritual elements within this context. The body, too, works to separate our soul from this limitless space. These concepts can be empty or plenty in accordance with each one's faith. A limitless space such as the sky can work as a perfect paradise where everything merges or as a chaotic hell without limits and where everything is diffuse.
