Cloud and Moon article >
An experience two years ago, observing the moon among clouds, awakened my first-person consciousness. This encounter, starting with a brief car glimpse and continuing for eight months, evolved into a profound understanding of my surroundings. The Cloud and Moon image symbolizes life’s ever-changing conditions, representing coextensive paths and how perception illuminates certain experiences while leaving others in shadow. This selective focus is fundamental to how we experience reality, much like the moon’s light creating contrasts through clouds. Cloud and Moon is my visual story of the interplay between clarity and obscurity, inspiration and doubt, and permanence and change. This paradoxical dance, like our breath, reveals the path forward through varying degrees of illumination. It’s about exploring discovery itself, embracing unconventional, unpredictable paths. The moon and clouds’ poetic performance of hiding and revealing mirrors how inspiration and transparency, though often obscured by doubt, eventually re-emerge. Understanding this rhythm transforms resistance into discovery, allowing us to navigate life’s fluctuations and interact with our obstacles and inspirations.
