Cloud to Cloud
            Cloud to Cloud aims to celebrate the most abundant material in the 
universe, Hydrogen, through our everyday interactions with water.
The installation consists of 400 thin strings, each carrying a constant
flow of water, that are suspended from the ceiling of a large, open space.
The strings are arranged in a halo pattern, creating the impression of
a vast cloud hovering overhead. The droplets of water travel along the
strings and into a shallow pond set into a ceramic tabletop, creating
a mesmerising pattern of ripples and waves.

            The installation, its messages and story, are all inspired by the 
production process of the world’s first green hydrogen-powered
ceramics factory, H2 Factory by Iris Ceramica Group. Cloud to Cloud
traces the circular process of Iris Ceramica’s H2 factory which transforms
rainwater into hydrogen which is used to power the ceramic production
kilns which subsequently produces water vapour that returns to the
atmosphere, forming further clouds and rain.

            Cloud to Cloud is not only a celebration of the beauty and power 
of water but also represents the hydrogen atom, the most abundant
element in the universe. Hydrogen is the building block of water,
and its unique properties make it essential for life as we know it.

            The installation aims to materialise an invisible material into a tactile 
performance. Each stage of the process aims to celebrate waters unique
properties and characteristics by devising an abstract ‘cloud to cloud’
model. From its ability to travel by string using cohesion and adhesion
to the ripple effects caused by droplets and capillary action - water’s
magnificent characteristics owes its thanks to Hydrogen (H2).
This installation invites visitors to reflect on the fundamental role that
water and hydrogen play in our world.
