From the series "Cirrus"
Cirrus clouds are the highest altitude clouds (above 6,000 meters) in mid and low latitudes, and like all clouds, they help us understand the weather and predict short-term meteorological changes. In this series, I manipulate all types of clouds to enhance the hydrological cycle within my imagination; to address climate change by attempting to "feed" the oceans so they can resolve the other three series that complement the "Campectonia" project (2018/2021), which features photographs of the sea in states and forms that are not typical due to global warming; and at the same time, to question the manipulation of clouds for human benefit, such as seeding them with silver iodide (which, curiously, was used in photographic development) or dry ice to induce rain during droughts or prevent hail damage to crops or fog at airports.
Taking inspiration from the name of this type of cloud, several projects have been undertaken with the aim of understanding more about nature or with the purpose of dominating it. They usually indicate the approach of a warm front and possible precipitation within the next 24-36 hours. Clouds have been present in almost all the work I've done since 2009, treating them as subtle pieces to flesh out a project or as a fundamental element to begin dreaming about the next one. And they have always been a part of my life; ever since I lay in the grass of my garden as a child.
