Statement

I came up with this freezing ice idea when I was playing around with the left over ice in the freezer. Then I start exploring the movement of water, which is due to the gravity of course. It's a basic knowledge that gravity is a force that make water fall toward the Earth, just like everything in this world.

What I see in the unpredictable form of water is that it's freeform with distorted reflection and can be totally different depends on the force you pour or volume of water or even the form of container.

So I start taking photo from different angle and some close-up.

And made some 3d models from different materials to find the right one to work with for the final idea.

I planned to make an ice sculpture of the falling water form.

Why?

- Everyone know that water just flow/drop/fall and that's it .. then I came up with this idea of 'freezing' the water. Water is a liquid, and the property of liquid is that it flows ~ so water cant take shape.

- Ice is a solid, it will keep its shape until it melts.

Why ice ?

- Well I choose to work with ice because it's a solid stage of water.. the main element in this project and in my observation. And it's a best one that give a feeling of water, (of course because it's water just in a solid form) . It also communicate my concept best. Ice is not a permanent model, which will serve the concept of 'nothing will last forever', this form is a movement of water, so when ice melts it become water.

I'd like to freeze the moment of water falling with ice, because people normally think of water as a fluid form that won't stay long, but if I freeze it in a moving form people might wonder what happened to it and when time pass by the ice would melt and they will suddenly know it's ice.
