I was really taken with the sky on this last visit, more so
than usual. Having spent the last 15
months fixated on the ground, and the transformation of that same stretch of
earth, I realized the sky above had changed just as much – in fact it never
stopped. Over the duration of this
process (the construction itself, my wandering excursions, the dead time on the
site between spurts of activity) at no two points in time would what was once
above, directly correspond to what was below.
The constant movement of the clouds through the atmosphere, and the
incessantly shifting hue of the blue above make sure of this.
Of course I couldn’t help but think of the relation between
this on-ground experience to our in-air perception of the same – seemingly so
similar, yet entirely distinct.
Below are a few images from my recent visit to the site:
