Cloud creatures

Category: Personal work

There’s a valley where the wisps of clouds passing overhead are captured in the reflection of a shallow river bed. The wind and the river work together within this isolated yet protected dimension to slowly gather and coax the wisps into the form of creatures - cormorants, lizards, beetles, sometimes even yaks. The maturation of each infant form is helped along by daily visits from the village children who feed them fresh fish. After a few months the cloud creatures are eventually strong enough to break the surface of the river bed and complete their passage over the mountain range.
