Inspired by the Korean ritual of rain, Echoes of Snow Dance explores the pressing issue of water scarcity. The project captures the dynamic movement, form, and impermanence of clouds dancing across a snowy landscape. The clouds, the wellspring of water in the sky, are captured alongside the mountains, reflecting the ever-changing drama of the Alps. The geometric designs are symbolic of the cyclical nature of water. These forms function as visual metaphors for the enduring human desire for water, echoing across the ages as the clouds dance across the sky.
