Located on Jambiani beach along Zanzibar's east coast, Drifting Cloud is a by Vincent Leroy that interacts directly with the wind. The sculptural work is constructed from carbon rods, joints, and kite- discs, forming a lightweight structure capable of responding to subtle air currents. The installation's modular components move independently while remaining part of a connected whole, generating a dynamic, constantly changing composition. Movements vary according to wind strength, ranging from fine vibrations to broader gestures, producing an organized yet unpredictable rhythm.

The work is composed of concentric Fresnel lenses mounted on a carbon and frame. Activated by natural air currents, the structure shifts gently, refracting and distorting its environment. As the morning balloons rise across the horizon, their forms appear multiplied, dissolved, and reshaped through the , producing layered visual effects that alter the perception of space. the lenses float between sky and earth | all images by Vincent Leroy Studio
