Cloud Choreography

Mapping the Dance of Impermanence

The sky dances in quiet defiance—it moves in silence, where the shapelessness finds rhythm, and impermanence is etched in soft sweeping gestures. A study of movement and transformation, charting the drifting clouds into tangible, structured patterns and ephemeral performances.

Axis

n. a line about which a body rotates,
the body of work’s conceptual anchor

This project revealed the delicate balance between chaos and order, as the shapeless became defined through layered gestures. The act of translating clouds into structured choreography reframed their freedom as a dialogue between control and surrender, offering new perspectives on how we interact with fleeting natural phenomena.

This project uncovered the inherent choreography of nature, as the free-flowing forms of clouds were imbued with structure and rhythm. By mapping their movement, the work reframed their boundless grace, inviting a deeper understanding of balance between fleeting beauty and human interpretation

Articulation

n. a expression
the shaping of form

Cloud movements were captured via video and photography, then analyzed frame by frame. Digital drawings charted the shapes and flow of each cloud, translating fluidity into structured marks. These diagrams were printed on transparent sheets, layered, and projected onto a barn door using an overhead projector, merging analog and digital tools in a live, performative choreography.
