Aerial vantage points provide the oddest perspectives. Once upon a time —
I was standing tiptoes on a chair in the kitchen trying to reach a
far-away basket of snacks. Up on the chair, I discovered that the top
of the fridge was caked with a fine layer of fudgy kitchen dust. It was
the first time I noticed that our old blue and green rug showed a flock of some birds eating berries.
In a roundabout way, we arrive back to tulips in Holland with my favorite duo of design - Charles and Ray Eames' Powers of Ten (1977). This amazing and a legendary little film, which profoundly ponders structure and scale, was based on the essay "Cosmic View" by Dutch scholar Kees Boeke.
