Cloud

Nimbus

Clouds contain, retain, carry, and store, yet we see them travel with that ability to hover lightly and carry with them everything they've stored along the way. Like surreal beings and protagonists of ephemeral scenes, they immerse us in dreams, images, shapes, and figures that we soon make our own, and they tell us a story. Like a lung that fills completely and then empties in a play between content and container, clouds teach us firsthand the phenomenon of transition and constant renewal.

This is why, throughout several projects created over the past year, I've given clouds a special place within my compositions, where they appear as characters coming to visit, embracing, or hesitantly reflecting on their position in space, while time stands still. Below is a compilation of images I've selected from different projects, where clouds give us one of their faces, a very cheerful and friendly one for anyone who pauses to observe them.
