We feel uncomfortable by the things that are beyond our control. We like things that are concrete, things we can grasp and point to and be able to know what it is. We feel frustrated by the things that we can not hold on to or change. As an architecture student, I began to realize just how much power and control architects have over the lives of people and things. In my piece I wanted to explore this need of wanting to controlling/containing nature and the impossibility of containing an object such as a cloud, which by nature is ephemeral and elusive to touch. The containment is an illusion, where the viewer is presented with three clouds perfectly captured and permanently encased in a moment which in nature would be fleeting.
