The 8 planets of the solar system rotate and orbit around the Sun. However, every planet has a different axial tilt. The blessing begins with this small difference.
What if it wasn’t for the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth’s axis? The perfectly set tilt, neither too large nor small, gifts us with a miracle rhythm. In turn, the freezing Arctic and Antarctic, the equator’s hot winds conveying to all parts of the globe and deep cutting rivers, are where humans find their direction of civilization.
This series tackles the task of seeing, hearing and feeling the rhythm of the Earth, which was until now too big to be felt.
