The artwork, titled “You are the Weather,” is a creation by artist Roni Horn, crafted between the years 1994 and 1996 in Iceland. The dimensions of the artwork are 27 x 22 cm.
The artwork consists of a series of intimate, close-up photographs depicting a woman’s face emerging from the water. Each image showcases slight variations in the subject’s expression, captured with meticulous detail. The subject’s wet hair and direct gaze create a powerful sense of immediacy and reflection, invoking an emotional connection with the viewer. The repetitive nature of the portraits and the subtle shifts in the subject’s demeanor emphasize the nuanced relationship between human emotions and natural elements. The use of water as a recurring motif enhances the thematic exploration of identity and environment within the work.
