Water Works V

A darkened room is occupied by a minimalist grotto, creating an almost silent, not quite motionless space for reflection. Like a giant jewel, the room is veiled with a series of diaphanous liquid panels that capture light to reveal space in unexpected ways. A sense of cool humidity pervades. An ethereal, contemplative atmosphere combines with strange vertiginous bending of the elements at play.
