One centimeter off the ground, there is nothing.
The landscape rushes past, while its scent lingers behind.
One centimetre off the ground is like a breath left unfinished. It continues with its own rhythm, rising and swelling like a body touching the ground and rebounding. Seen from a distance, there is nature and layer upon layer of shifting green – neither taking flight nor fully touching down. However vast or disorienting the view may be, everything eventually returns to the ground beneath our feet.
