Vision is about discovering what is not immediately perceptible: an extraordinary image or scene, whether real or imagined. The radar allows us to go beyond the limits of our sight, extending to the radar horizon, beyond which the Earth's curvature hides what lies farther away. Suddenly, a bright spot appears on the screen: it reveals distant obstacles and helps us detect weak or complex signals, providing us with a map to guide our course. It is an opportunity to reflect on an often unpredictable context, helping us to chart meaningful paths, so we don’t get lost or remain stuck.
It helps us design the present, imagining the future through a multitude of scenarios and a range of answers we can construct.
Imagine looking at the sea: before you, there is no land, only the infinite blue shimmering under the sun. The horizon, that thin line where the sky meets the sea, marks the limit of human vision, but the radar allows us to explore beyond, revealing what is hidden.
The ability to see is a complex process: it requires not only the use of the eyes but also the brain’s capacity to process and interpret not only visual information. It allows us to make decisions about the environment around us, guiding our movements.
Through sight, we gauge the distance of objects, whether it’s a moving car or a detail on a screen. This faculty guides us in many daily activities but can be influenced by multiple factors, ranging from being absent or blurry to perfectly clear or even imaginary vision.
Just as a port provides shelter from storms and a lighthouse illuminates the path of sailors at night, the radar serves as an essential tool for navigating a complex world.
The lighthouse shines light on the unknown, just as the radar guides us through invisible spaces, offering safety and direction. The port, from which we depart and return, represents not only the end of a journey but also the starting point for new explorations.
It is a symbol of continuous connection between the visible and the invisible, between what we know and what we have yet to discover.
