H20

 


I found this photo from 3 years ago when we lived in Mount Maunganui. Titled "H20" painted by Ampparitto who is a Spanish artist when he took part in the "Street Prints Festival". The piece depicts 3 plastic cups of water in different positions, an image that stuck in his head during his 35 hour trip from Madrid to New Zealand  (pre-covid). While travelling he had a couple of glasses of water, each in a different part of the world and therefore positioned differently when seen from outer space.  The glasses painted in these cups are filled with 65% water which is the same percentage of H20 in the human body.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

Isn't it amazing how some people's creative minds work.

oh my a 35 hour trip from madrid to NZ...that's a long one...flying is indeed very dehydrating :)) but I'm glad he was able to create something from the experience!

There's a lot to think about in that image, which at first seems rather obvious, but really isn't -- how very interesting.
