Thundercloud

A Storm Approaching

Thundercloud

A design exploring the attraction of an approaching storm. The beauty and tension of nature are central, while the storm points to the threat of climate change and raises questions about what lies ahead.

climate change

Thundercloud explores the attraction of an approaching storm. The dark sky, changing light, and tension of what is to come create an image of the beauty and power of nature.
At the same time, the approaching storm carries a second meaning: the threat of climate change. By allowing these two sides to exist alongside each other, the work aims to raise awareness in a subtle and poetic way, without a direct or instructive message.
