Earth is that which we walk upon, and suddenly you are aware of earthworks. From the very beginning of time, there have been earthworks. The experience of Earth is something that is tactile. You feel it, you can fall on it, you can walk in it. It’s a physical experience. To return to it, I think, is very important for us because I think people are beginning to appreciate more and more that this is all we have, this Earth.
