hovering

gravity diving aynaku illustration travel

Gravity attracts towards the centre of the earth. On the contrary, we all wish to fly and set us free from this fundamental law of nature, but just in dreams we fly! And unless we can afford an intergalactic voyage, we will never experience what really means to live with no load of gravity. As a child I remember myself watching TV and gazing curiously at those funny fellows hovering inside some very spacecraft: how happily they smiled despite their complicated equipments and the absolute lack of freedom… I guess that vision has been enough for me to make the sudden decision of diving. In fact underwater hovering is an exciting experience, something really similar to space hovering: I heard that astronauts themselves train for a long time below the sea surface before attempting their expeditions and spacewalks. And both environments are similar as well: cold, blue still and deeply silent…

Illustration Friday’s topic is: gravity

I’m loving your illo and the sweet words you put in your entry this week, Massimo. You are right, we only can fly in our dreams, but how nice and easy it feels when it happens ;)

That must be a very liberating feeling…you have very effectively conveyed it here in your illustration.
