A turbulent sky is in the offing: is rain on its way, or will it blow over? The biggest part of this photograph is taken over by the menacing clouds. Just a stroke at the bottom shows a bit of the landscape. While these cloud formations symbolise the brutal energy of nature, they also represent its constant changeability. Comparing this image by the Japanese artist Mayumi Hosokura with other photographs in her series Kazan, this photograph appears to be much darker. Hosokura seems to have deliberately underexposed the photograph to enhance the sense of menace. The monochrome use of colour, on the other hand, is typical for the images that make up this series.
Mayumi Hosokura was one of the artists selected for Foam Talent 2011. Her series Kazan was presented in Foam Magazine #28 Talent Issue and the accompanying talent exhibition.
