Most of Haliti exhibition was of a series of cloud motifs which had computer drawn faces on them from her imagination of what shapes the clouds made. I love the experimentation of the cloud faces and I also l wonder if another person were given the same cloud, would they see the face in the same place? 

What attracts me to the cloud faces is the fun, playful aspect of them, how they should just be taken at face value and enjoyed for the child like  creativity in them.

The other section of her exhibition was work that looked at interpersonal relationships shown through a video installation about long-distance relationships in the internet.

The video installation, I Miss You , I Miss You , Till I Do not Miss You Anymore (2014) has three channels, love letters are presented on these three large screens. Each screen has a different colour from looking into her work further I believe the colours to represent stages of a relationship; yellow is the beginning, red is for more sexual conversations and blue represents fading love. The love letters are presented by them appearing as though they were being typed by someone right in front of you, there are even pauses as though the writer is thinking. The way this work has been presented is beautiful in its realism and as the words are being typed in front of you I feel people will relate better to it and emphasis.
