Locating ourselves in a place, the head planted on the ground, precariously swaying for balance, breathing and observing the sounds and scents around us. We call it: radical acts of sanity, an acknowledgment of our connection and dependence on all life forms that share the world with us. As the architects of extinction; this is our elegy to life on earth.

Upside down, the experience of being stationary changes the perspective significantly. Inverted. The exposed skin feels vulnerable and sensitive to the breeze. It is hard to surrender.
