“Everything with Wings Has a Shadow” presents works from the Cloud Project, a painting series that began from experiences of mourning, memory, and the unspoken emotions carried through family histories. While rooted in personal loss, the project opens toward experiences many lives inevitably encounter: death, the fading of memory, belated understanding, and the fragile bonds that remain after absence. In these works, clouds become more than atmospheric forms. They appear as vessels for feelings that have not fully arrived — grief, belated hope, unreached wishes, and remaining bonds. Through repetition, variation, spacing, and layered color, the paintings create an open sky where such emotions can pause, drift, dissolve, and re-emerge. Rather than offering resolution, the works imagine a space where what is fragile or unspoken may continue to exist in another form.
