In the same spirit of our past projects, we wanted to do something fun and dumb but also maybe revelatory. We settled on a project we called Experience Earth’s Energies. We envisioned this as a way to describe the relationship between humans, physical activity, the natural world, grace and beauty.
We posit there are three stages to Transcendence during physical activity - Resonance (touch the Earth), Flow State (become the Earth), and Ascension (leave the Earth). To represent these stages, we referenced art history, pop culture, early representations of physical feats, religious iconography, etc.
We hope you dig it. At the very least, we hope you like the pretty pictures.
