Each sunrise starts a new story. Every story has its own emotions, its light that needs to be captured. I traveled to Mongolia to capture those stories that were left for me by my ancestors. To find myself I went far north, above the mountains, below the clouds. Finding the people that living with their heritages. Finding places that accept them and nurture them. I captured the relationship between people and land, but in each photograph I take, the line is blurred. I started to see them as one. There was no line between them, there were only stories, the stories that needs to be told. This time I will be telling those stories, and this is my Mongolia.

"The Mind on Clouds" shows the state of being the one who is lost in their thoughts, daydreaming, or otherwise disconnected from reality. It's a state of mind that we all enter into at times, where we're lost in our thoughts and the rest of the world fades away. For a moment, we're in our little world, lost in thought. Only this time, it means that we are merging with nature.
