Falling Light

Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got stillI'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Artist notes:

To float is to fly. If we never fly, we never fall. And yet, who does not long to fly? Even falling is a kind of flight. Falling light.

The question of how gravity - the action of gravity on the body - effects our sense of who we are, our sense of what is and isn’t possible.

How it shapes our experience of our selves and the world around us.

How then would we experience ourselves with/without gravity?

What would our relationship to the external world be in the absence of gravity?

Who would we be? Falling light.
