Clouds captivate me, no matter where I am. Their allure beckons, whispering from afar. Our design captures this longing through light, projection, and sound.
‘Nostalgia Above’ merges the vast sky with a historic laneway. Programmable LED bulbs diffuse through translucent polycarbonate spheres, creating illuminated sequences of animated weather patterns that cycle through storms, rain, overcast skies, and sunshine.
These weather patterns symbolize the complications, overcoming, and resolutions of a hero’s journey. Nostalgia Above reminds us that brighter and warmer days are just around the corner.
And sometimes, we simply need to stop, look up, and enjoy the clouds.
