chasing clouds

Chasing Clouds explores the practice of vaping as a visual manifestation of breath patterns that evoke ectoplasm, escaping spirits, auras, chakras, energy fields, and the dissolution of self. To create these images, I visited vape shops, set up backdrops, and photographed subjects exhaling vapor through colored filters. The resulting images were combined to form the final compositions. The series title draws from a vaping subculture focused on producing large, intricate vapor formations for competition or spectacle. The oval shape and ultra-shiny surface of the works suggest a mirror or portal, inviting viewers to experience or witness a transformation.
