TOPANGA CANYON, CA: Climbing the steps always has great symbolism and visual elements for storytelling. I'm on my way up, climbing the ladder, a journey, passageway, ascension or descendance, power, achievement, enlightenment, or status, life's balance. Stairs have had powerful cultural symbolism for thousands of years, and can represent many things.
When someone is at the bottom of a staircase, they usually look up at the top, representing their goals and aspirations.
