VISION

How big is your sky?
Why are we look up to the sky?
Why I couldn't ignore this tower- Burj Khalifa

In what moods when u look down to the earth?
Do u feel connected to where u came from? (the city underneath u)

Seeing directly to things vs Seeing reflections of things

Alienation:
between citizens

Babel Tower of the 21st Century:
"Phones become part of our image or identity in the 21st century.
Each of us dreams of a babel tower, when our minds and bodies come together, an abstract babel tower of this society of this time segment formed inside/among us.
This abstract dream/identity/the babel tower reflects onto the architecture in reality which we all look up to (Burj Khalifa Tower on everyone's phone in this case). However, we no more look up at the actual one with our eyes but looking down at separate phones while we are standing in front of it, together."
