Abstract
This work was completed as a passion project pairing my love for the abstract and photographic media. This work utilizes three simple materials, silicon trays, water, and light. Working with extreme precision, I began photographing an ice cube tray that had been filled to the brim, creating beautiful bubbles of surface tension between their dividers. As the experiment progressed, the water began to shift, and the tension transformed into cohesion. Movement and slow shutter speeds were introduced to capture the action of the once calm water, revealing beautiful streaks of dancing light that shone off its surface.
