The Skywalking meme refers to a popular photography and video trend where individuals use forced perspective or specific camera angles to appear as though they are walking on air, clouds, or the sides of buildings. This trend gained massive traction on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, often used to create surreal or impossible imagery. Beyond the physical stunt, the meme is frequently used metaphorically to represent someone who is 'above' a situation, feeling enlightened, or simply ignoring the chaos happening on the ground. It remains a staple for creators who want to showcase a sense of freedom, superiority, or surreal humor in their digital content.
