CLOUD ASSISTANT

CLOUD ASSISTANT explores fleeting states of perception, moments that feel familiar, yet impossible to fully grasp.

The figures appear as helpers, observers, or inner guides, emerging from memory, dreams, and imagination. The series reflects the tension between presence and disappearance, clarity and blur.
