Drifting Clouds

All living creatures are... the same body, the same life and the same self, continually passing from form to form, from subject to subject, from existence to existence.

Drifting Clouds & Sound of Sea

Exhibition: SHIFTING GROUNDS, curated by Unground Collective*
Venue: Hypha Gallery 2, Sugar House Island, London, UK
Year: 2025

*Unground Collective, a group of ten UK-and internationally-based artists, presents Shifting Grounds, an exhibition exploring the complex intersections of ecology, climate, and human experience.


"Drifting Clouds" (2025) is an audio project that began in late 2024, born from chronicling the island's volatile weather and my physical discomfort. This work is a continuation of my exploration into "drawing ambience," similar to how "Sound of Sea" (2025) translates the sea's sounds into calming drawings. "Drifting Clouds" captures the island's shifting atmosphere through layered ambient textures, fragmented personal narratives, and varied languages. The project challenges a human-centred perspective, exploring how drawing, sound, language, and lived experiences shape our perception of a transient, dynamic environment.
