Sky

In Sky, the images at first seem to depict the sky itself—clouds suspended in open air, rendered with clarity and stillness. As the sequence unfolds, subtle distortions in form and texture emerge, hinting at another surface. Eventually, it becomes clear that these are not views of the sky above, but its reflection on the shifting surface of water.

This gradual reveal unsettles the viewer’s initial assumption, replacing a stable viewpoint with a layered perception that merges the real and the reflected. Ripples, light refractions, and passing elements dissolve the boundary between sky and water, above and below. In this moment of perceptual shift, the image exposes the inherent uncertainty of photography itself—how it can appear to present reality while quietly displacing it.

What begins as a direct gaze upward transforms into an encounter with an image that exists only in reflection—an unstable surface where vision and assumption quietly drift apart.
