Symbols and narratives last, they ensure continuity and progress in cultural history by conveying knowledge.
“Reaching the Heavens”, like climbing stairs, we do not necessarily must only go UP, but we also have to understand and construct the FAILURE, in order to progress from that through COLECTIVE ACTION and CONVERSION. This belongs to one single idea of INFINITY and PERFECTION, which is achieved through questioning accepted norms and paths, through a form of CIRCLE and CYCLING. It is a form of moving and positioning in creation of constant and sustainable, with observing it as mathematical and thinking principle, with uniting knowledge and ourselves as a crucial factor today, leads us to overall concept of TOGETHERNESS.
