The little cloudmakers

I photographed my son playing with his playmate cousin two years ago on the top image, and in the present day on the bottom images. I made a little house out of cardboard and I painted it. I put some cotton wool on the floor, which helped the image make it to transpose into another world, the one of dreaming of sky rivers and clouds. You can see there is a difference of playing and age of then and now. In phase two, on the bottom images they were more dynamic and creative. The first and second part of the story, is two years difference, the same little kids playing in the same scene. You can see how they grew up and how they played 2 years ago and in present day. These images made my imagination flourish and I turned the photographs into narrative illustrations that are telling a story of how they make clouds, they contain all the earth clouds in their magical cloud ball. They want to catch it and create, playmate cousins are making their own clouds to play with. This series of images was an attempt to represent their experience of playing together as playmates. Seeing how they were playing with cotton wool made me dream to clouds. Their age is the age when your world is supernatural, even after two years difference of photographs they still play creatively, you have the impression that you can touch the sky, dream and can make clouds. How some ordinary things can transpose us to an imaginary world full of clouds and admire the feel of playing, the feel of life, and childhood. All these reminds us to feel like a kid again presented as narrative illustrations.
