I Am The Sky
This photographic series emanated from my quest to understand emotions. My childhood culture forbade expressing emotions, so I assumed they were like forbidden fruit — scary & concealed.
I needed the lens of art to chronicle the range of emotions that escort life events. I found a parallel with clouds, because both emotions and clouds can be beautiful, ominous & transient.
Some beautiful emotions are joy, gratitude, love, hope, serenity, confidence, amusement and inspiration.
Examples of ominous emotions are fear, loneliness, anger, sadness, anxiety, guilt, shame, jealousy, disappointment, hostility and grief.
Both are transient just like life’s events. But I am the sky & can just observe what life events pass my way.
“You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.”
