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.

illi Jung Piccato is a South Korean photographer and visual artist with a background as a former regional visual marketing manager for global fashion houses. Her work explores the interconnections between humanity and the environment, deciphering the subtle and often overlooked languages of nature. Driven by an "ethic of care," her work confronts the global water crisis through a unique lens of "environmental scenography." Twice recognized by PX3 Paris, she utilizes mirroring and layering to reveal hidden symmetries in nature.
