Les nuages

When first visiting the Health center, I came to think of clouds from Persian miniatures. Pictures I have seen dating to the Middle Ages. In these paintings there are clouds with character - as if they play a dramatic role in the landscape. Within a rather defined frame, the shapes of the clouds (with their movement, exuberance and unrealism) activate the space in the image. My idea is that the cloud sculptures invite to a fun hide-and-seek game with visitors.
