Inspired by Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" I set out to depict the limits of our visual experience on earth. Looking to the sky above we are used to finding clouds. Sometimes they just storm over the sky, they bring rain or snow. The power that lies within can be interpreted and translated. Not so long ago, every farmer around the globe was able to read the sky. Are you able to see the clouds and understand the message they are carrying?Inspired by Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" I set out to depict the limits of our visual experience on earth.
