In "Above the Clouds," the viewer is led on a journey between the tangible and the invisible. The central figure, cloaked in a golden mantle and suspended between sky and mist, evokes a dreamlike walk in a space that floats above reality. The urban composition, punctuated by graffiti, smiles, and words like "dream" and "never dreamed," conveys the tension between the freedom of dreams and the hardness of the concrete world.

However, the true heart of the work is only revealed under UV light: a secret layer of symbols and hidden messages that remain invisible to the unobservant eye. This duality challenges the observer to look deeper—beyond the surface—suggesting that, just like in dreams or in the mind itself, there is always more to discover than what is seen.
