The "Journey from the Bottom to the Top" project is a continuous parchment comic, its reading being an atypical one: from the bottom up. The theme of the project is that of knowledge, finding its roots in the allegory of "Expulsion from Heaven". From this allegory is taken the Tree of Knowledge with its fruits and the viewing point over knowledge: it does not always the path to happiness.
In this sense, it illustrates an initiatory journey of a nameless blue character who, bored by the accessible fruits at the base of the tree, sets off in search of new fruits, climbing the Tree of Knowledge. His journey will be difficult, being hindered by other characters. But, with a little help, he will be able to reach the top of the Tree.
Chromatics play an important role in the narrative. Warm colors symbolize the low level of desire to know more. Instead, the cold colors illustrate the rational and the closeness to the celestial.
