My Sky & Your Sky

My Sky & Your Sky began with a simple question: can the sky be treated as a portrait? Not a picture of clouds or a landscape, but a portrait of atmosphere itself. The project gathers live environmental conditions from different places and transforms them into fields of color that sit between measurement and sensation. What appears on screen is not a literal photograph, but a translation of light, humidity, haze, pollution, and weather into an abstract image.

I’m interested in the tension between scientific input and human perception. We often say the sky looks blue, gray, pale, heavy, washed out, luminous, or clear, but those descriptions are unstable and deeply tied to place. My Sky & Your Sky uses data as raw material, but its purpose is not neutrality. It is a poetic instrument for noticing. Each rendering is both a record and an interpretation, an attempt to hold a fleeting atmospheric condition as color.

As the archive grows, the work becomes a distributed collection of skies: a mosaic of places connected by air, light, and time. The project invites viewers to compare locations, climates, and moods, and to think of the atmosphere not as background, but as a living medium we inhabit together.
