Perpetual Atmospheric, 2025




Perpetual Atmospheric, is a living gradient that responds to place, time, and weather. The colors are not chosen by hand but generated from the atmosphere itself—hues shaped by daylight and cloud, motion guided by the wind. What emerges is a quiet portrait of the present moment, shifting endlessly, never repeating, and never detached from the world outside the screen.
