it sounds like something just unlocked for you to fully step into your artistry or at least a new chapter and I'm so freaking excited to see what comes of it. as far as your newest photograph from the ten windless days, the first thing that came to mind was "at once, we were infinite" and I looked up the quote from Perks of Being A Wallflower, and it's actually "and in that moment, I swear we were infinite." so take your pick lol.
had two thoughts last night about Gaoth (one thing you should know about me is I have no shame when it comes to things (and people) that resonate with me - they're just so hard to come by lol.) But I was thinking about a series I saw by KayLynn Deveny called The Day-to-Day Life of Albert Hastings in which she was documenting this older man and she said this:
“I wondered too how my perceptions of Bert differed from the way he saw himself. To better understand his feelings about being photographed and his reactions to my photographs, I asked Bert to caption small prints I kept in a pocket-sized notebook. Each speaking from our own perspective, we began the dialog that eventually became this book.”
and I thought it was such a cool way to do a series of photographs - as a conversation between the subject and the photographer. or in your case possibly the photographer and the viewer. and I was also thinking how beautiful a concept it is to go out in search of wind that moves beauty along and I just think that's such a singular moment for people to really stop and "smell the roses" and in whatever way you decide to display your work, I think recreating as close as possible that feeling/moment would be breathtaking.
Love all of this, I’m grateful this series resonates and thanks for all your kind words
Of course, it’s like colour! No two people ever see the same colour it’s chances of happening are near 0 so I’ve no doubt that every photo of us is clouded with perceptions.
Also a great point of proving that we all see different but it doesn’t change the fact we all see, what’s the most important part of it

It’s a weird feeling and one I’m still understanding 😂
