Description

Tim desClouds created a unique and whimsical flying vessel for every residential floor. As interpretations of the magical qualities of human existence, these vessels enlighten us about our own daily journeys and the environments we find along the way. To aid in the journey through the long-term care centre, desClouds developed figurative floor signs, which are stylistically linked to the vessels at each home office.
