The Zen-like quality of clouds: neutral and natural, ever-changing and shifting—no attachments, no story. With simple beauty, clouds symbolize a way of living in graceful fluidity and sheer “being-ness.” To me, the act of capturing a cloud “mid-shift” is akin to meditating on the present moment.Original cloud photographs, digitally altered, mounted on wood supports, with applied silver leaf at edges.
