Cloud watches stone, stone watches cloud. Cloud is stone, stone is cloud. They are actually the same. They are both from one. It is just we have forgot, what they originally looked like, and who we were in the beginning. 

‘Cloud and Stone’ is an ongoing photography series that QIU Yangzi created since 2015. It reflects her inner relationship with the nature and the research between cloud and stone which symbolized the physical and non-physical elements in the world. The creation process has empowered Yangzi to search spiritual inner peace and the meaning of self-existence. This series is created globally including China, Japan, United Kingdom and North America and all are created by black and white negatives.
