" From early childhood on, many
people dream of flying, of becoming
lughter than air, defying gravity,
floating above the earth. The sky
suggests the transformation from
physical self into pure spirit,
something that many people believe
happens when we die. A great blue
vault over the earth, the landscape
of the sky has come to symbolize a
celestial paradise, an ideal of a
transcendent world that has inspired
different cultures to create its
images in the form of gardens."
