My Beautiful Clouds is a self-regulating atmospheric system:
A closed cycle of condensation and evaporation that echoes the earth’s own processes. Humidifiers generate mist that thickens into temporary clouds; refrigerant compressors cool the vapor and clear the chamber, a quiet rehearsal of planetary rhythms.

The work functions as an investigation into environmental regulation, mechanical feedback, and artificial climate construction. By presenting mist and machinery as interdependent components, the installation underscores the porous boundary between biological, technological, and ecological systems. Together they form a subtle choreography of cleansing, renewal, and return.

At its heart, the work examines the fragile membrane between body and environment, human and machine. Much psychological suffering comes from imagining these as separate domains; yet here cloud and circuitry depend on one another to remain alive, each adjusting and stabilizing the other through continuous cycles of change.
