"Vertigo is from the bottom up. Vertigo has always been defined as a disturbance felt in front of an abyss or at a high point in relation to the space between us and the ground. Reversing the direction of this axis by designating the vertigo that can be felt when looking upwards is equivalent to shifting the focus of this disturbance from the drop, the earth, and the materiality to the rise, the sky, and spirituality."

"(...) the feel of the stone beneath my feet, the colour and the smell of the sea, the caress of the breeze on my cheek, the texture of the air against my skin. I breathed deeply, as if inhaling the world anew" Lily Prior, 2001. La Cucina. Image by Monica Pinheiro, license CC BY-NC-SA (CC)
