Levitation has a broad history which ranges from the spiritual, metaphysical world, to the world of magic tricks and cheap illusion. My interests lie in two places; humanity's timeless quest for knowledge beyond the realm of our current conception and also the quest to avoid or defy gravity's natural course upon our constantly aging physical beings. The symbolic defiance of gravity, for me, is a way to resist aging, to resist human mortality, an attempt to become more god-like. The idea of levitation mixes the historical context of spiritual mysticism with a state of dehumanization, in which a person forsakes their earthly presence to experience something higher.
