When unable to be absorbed, water rises up. When climate radicalization and the severity of recent droughts prevent torrential rains from seeping into the earth, here comes the flood. This photo concept was born the day my wife and I were caught inside our vehicle in a swollen river. With the water rising rapidly to headrest level, we spent four tense hours before we reached the safe side of the river. A drop of breast milk flows along an ice cube, triggering in its fall an electrovalve and two flashes. The image is created half a metre below, where the drops bound and collide. Cooled breast milk gives elasticity and allows the fractal skull patterns around the edge of the aureole, reflecting human involvement in climate changes. The ice cube, our earth’s melting poles, provides a supporting temperature for the emerging sculpture, personified through the diffraction of the surrounding landscape.
