A portrayal of the memory to the prospection; mapping the imagination…
Cloud and Moon article >

About a year ago, the clouds returned to my attention through an encounter in which the moon drifted among them, anchoring my awareness in a visual moment. This exploration started with a fleeting glimpse of the sky while I moved in a car at night. Afterward, I observed that phenomenon for eight months. This exploration turned into an experiential, perceptual understanding of my surroundings. It was like a reflection in the sky or rather, a trace recorded by the clouds and moon, like an image of that specific moment and place. The conversation between the moon and clouds in the wide theater of the night sky can be read as a poetic dance of presence and absence, an endless celestial ballet. The moon and clouds are different entities, separated by vast distances. The moon is a celestial body about three hundred and eighty-four thousand kilometers away from Earth, and clouds are a weather phenomenon within the atmosphere. They meet each other from our point of view on Earth, which creates a poetic visual and metaphorical association. As clouds pass before the moon, they soften or obscure its light, changing how it appears from where we stand. In the same way, distractions or challenges can temporarily shadow our path through life. This dynamic relationship, where the moon either hides behind or shines through the clouds, can be understood as a metaphor for human perception and experience, referring to the ever-changing way individuals understand and interact with the world around them.
