Atmospheric Strata No.4 (2018) Photograph by YIBO WANG

This series explores the clouds not as fleeting moments, but as structural, quasi-industrial layers of the atmosphere. Photographed from high-altitude perspectives, these images strip away the romanticism of the sky to focus on the 'rational geometry' of vapor and light.

Each work functions as a horizontal study of depth and density. From the solid, wave-like textures of a cloud sea to the minimal divide of a distant horizon, the collection treats the sky as a physical landscape. My artistic inquiry focuses on the interplay between the ethereal nature of mist and the rigid, mathematical composition of the frame. This restrained approach creates a sense of profound, silent solitude, offering an authoritative yet calming presence for contemporary minimalist interiors.
