A Lifted Water Surface

A Lifted Water Surface considers water as a threshold between stability and movement, visibility and disappearance. The work begins with the idea of lifting a fragment of water from the ground and holding it temporarily in space.

Bent and plasma-cut steel carries traces of heat, pressure and movement, while transparent resin interrupts the solidity of the structure. Projected images of water pass across the work and surrounding walls, shifting the sculpture through light, shadow and reflection.

The installation explores how forces such as gravity, flow and time continue to shape material, even when movement appears to have been held still.
