Whispers in the Cloud

“The whispers we do not hear are the most revealing”.

In the digital age, the cloud is not merely a storage space: it is an intangible realm where our identities fragment, are gathered and exploited. Whispers in the Cloud reflects on the silent extraction of personal information through algorithms and social platforms — a process as imperceptible as it is relentless.

The composition embodies this duality between the visible and the concealed. Fluid, luminous blues evoke an illusion of openness and boundless possibility; yet from the shadows emerge elongated, spectral forms that disturb this serenity. These ghostly shapes — almost fangs or claws traversing the void — serve as metaphors for the invisible forces that harvest, manipulate and transform our digital selves.

We live under the illusion of free access and self-expression, yet our online presence is… a collection of whispers: signals gathered, processed and reused beyond our control. This work does not merely critique surveillance capitalism; it invites the viewer to reconsider their relationship with technology, privacy and will.

How much of ourselves remains truly ours on this boundless horizon?
