Up

inner world

parable

An endless staircase winding through space tests the limits of human will, step by step. The hero climbs upward, only to realize at a certain moment that his ascent has illusionarily turned into a descent into the depths. This unsettling twist reveals how easily the path toward a goal can become a trap. Up is a visual parable about perseverance, the cost of ambition, and the fine line between growth and self-loss, when one’s own desire becomes the greatest obstacle.
