The Moment, After the Wind #03

The wind passes and leaves a trace. Sometimes in the opening of a bird's wings, sometimes in the silence suspended in the air. The bird is the purest symbol of freedom — neither bound to the ground, nor fixed in one place. It glides, it rises, it disappears. After the Wind is the story of this trace and this freedom. It carves into stone, through abstract forms, what remains the very moment the wind passes by, and the movement and independence hidden within the bird's flight. Each artwork freezes a moment within itself; that fragile, fleeting point right in the middle of the bird's wingbeat. Making the invisible visible, and rendering what is felt tangible, After the Wind is a limited-edition sculpture series by The Clique Artworks.

The Moment captures that single instant when the wings are fully spread, the decision is made, and there is no turning back. There is a before, and there is an after — but this form carries only the infinitesimally small point between the two. The moment where time freezes, and everything becomes possible.
