On an early gloomy winter morning on February 17, 2009, attentive Londoners could observe 2,057 unusual objects in the sky flying over the River Thames and the domes of St. Paul's Cathedral.
Birds, balls? Cloud?! Quite right, your eyes are not deceiving you. It is a happy cloud in the shape of a smiley face.
The concept of such art belongs to the young British artist Stuart Semple. The clouds were released into the London sky early in the morning just to cheer people up. Of course, on a cloudy winter day, on Tuesday, when the week had just begun and everyone was in a hurry to get to work, the gone miracle could not leave passers-by indifferent and made them smile.
Stuart Semple admits that it is extremely easy to create art these days, but he wanted to do something unusual and important at the same time, even if it lasts for one short moment.
Pink-cheeked emoji clouds, created from helium, soap foam, and vegetable dyes, were launched into the sky every seven seconds. But, unfortunately, their life was not long. Only 30 minutes were allotted to each of them to instill joy and optimism in every Londoner. Really ingenious on the part of a young artist. His project, The Happy Cloud, is a kind of message of hope and positivism, a reaction to the pessimistic mood prevailing in the world now.
