Meteorologica: Observations

Weather has always been a matter of concern for people everywhere, influencing our health, comfort, and well-being. Since the time of the Ancient Greeks and Babylonians, humanity has been captivated by weather phenomena and their relationship to human activity. Weather not only reminds us of our vulnerability but also carries profound aesthetic and emotional significance.
As humanity has moved from praying for rain to practicing cloud seeding, weather has become a symbol of our longing for control over nature. My project, Meteorologica, explores the territory where magical thinking meets science, examining how meteorology combines intellectual, cultural, and social dimensions with artistic and even spiritual sensibilities. It questions whether a better understanding of meteorological practices through photography can play a role in communicating weather and climate information, encouraging a deeper awareness of this inevitable yet often misunderstood part of our lives.
