Case Study on Water, a sculptural artists’ book comprised of “collected” items, observes my relationship with water. Having a mother who has frequently visited fortunetellers, I was always told that I lack water in my energy and that’s why sometimes things are not working out in my life. I always thought that was a ridiculous idea but at a certain point I started to wonder, “is it?”
“As bizzare as it sounds, maybe this year has been good to me because I moved from an apartment in the middle of a city to another apartment in the middle of another city, but with a tiny view of Lake Michigan. maybe, that’s why I ordered one coffee machine but received two, ran into the manager of the job I wanted, and met someone new who I feel strongly connected to in three years. In this study, I will examine the potentially unforseen force of this ordinary matter and evaluate its control over my life (and maybe even that of others).”, excerpt from Case Study on Water
