cloud 2017

Chaokun Wang created "cloud" with photography, whenever and wherever clouds and mountains meet. This image is a study in black and white—a dance between light and shadow, density and transparency. I wonder what it was like for Wang, standing there, watching a cloud crown a mountain. Did he see a king? A god? Or just a fleeting moment of beauty, destined to dissipate? The mountain looks solid, a permanent, enduring presence, while the cloud is ephemeral. It reminds me that the most powerful art often comes from noticing these transient moments and trying to freeze them in time. Wang captured the fleeting, turning it into something permanent, but also hinting that everything changes. It's a conversation that we are all invited to participate in and witness.
