Through 16mm footage and ambient sounds from the Dar Si Hmad Foundation’s fog-harvesting project (Morocco), 'Tears of Fog' transforms fog into a medium for sensory meditation. Reflecting on desertification, the work portrays fog as an alternative source of water and a substance of the imagination. Both as a subject and as a metaphor, it carries multiple layers of meaning: it is air, water, and memory, and represents a transitional state of being.
