I am fascinated by the fragility and incompleteness that exists with all things beautiful.
I throw water into the air, and in mid-flight it changes shape constantly, being pulled by gravity and bursting with surface tension. Each flight barely lasts more than a second.
In each moment, the water becomes a beautiful figure which can be defined as a part man-made and part natural sculpture.
