The balloons, covered with an outer layer of polarized film, allow that, when light falls on the installation, a spectrum of immanent colors is revealed in space in an effect similar to that of the aurora borealis.

"The form of the installation suggests the course of the water cycle, as if the balloons were droplets of water and clouds rising in the air to turn into rain and precipitate back to the ground", explains Natasha Barzaghi Geenen, exhibition curator and Cultural Director from JHSP.
