The law of gravitation describes how objects in the universe attract one other based on their mass and distance. It is this very force that makes gravity less perceptible in the sky than it is on earth.
Every atmospheric phenomena is governed by fundamental principles of equilibrium and stability. Yet, we seldom have the opportunity to perceive these forces or become visually aware of how gravity orchestrates the shape of clouds, air pressure, winds, and air density. The formation and movement of clouds, for instance, are directly influenced by gravity, as it helps maintain the balance between rising warm air and descending cooler air, which determines cloud density and structure.
Similarly, gravity plays a crucial role in the behavior of winds and atmospheric pressure, shaping the distribution of air masses across the globe. In essence, everything responds to the gravitational forces it encounters.
Inspired by the study of elemental structures and natural phenomena, I explored many ways in which gravity reveals itself, both physically and visually. My curiosity lies in understanding the delicate relationship between weight and form, and in discovering unexpected aesthetics and spatial experiences.
The paper clouds presented here seek, through sheer geometry, to explore the interaction between gravity and atmosphere, transforming this invisible force into tangible structural behaviours and different formal characters.
Built in light weight materials and conceived to diffuse soft, indirect light, they are reduced to separable pieces for easy assembly, disassembly, storageThese objects exist at the intersection of lighting and structural experimentation, offering an invitation to reflect on invisible forces through everyday pieces.
