C-lective Curator’s Cut:

Cloud Screen presents a sweeping, atmospheric landscape where stormy skies meet a forested mountain, rolling hills, and plains, with a central cloud commanding the composition. A deep, rich purple wave arcs over the mountain beneath the clouds, evoking wind and movement, while the wet, vibrant greens of the hills convey the fertile, lively quality of the terrain. Throughout the canvas, Mirabel incorporates subtle geometric lines that recall technological or programmed structures, echoing our human systems and societal frameworks imposed on nature. Mirrored forms shimmer across the scene in shifting colors, creating a sense of reflection, repetition, and a screen-like filter through which we perceive the environment, connecting the work’s title to the way our experience of nature is mediated and refracted. The work balances clarity, turbulence, and motion, exemplifying her ongoing exploration of the tension between natural systems and human intervention.
