My photograph tries to show how beautiful an abstraction of clean water in combination with light and shadow can be. I also noticed that this phenomenon deconstructs the observed motif. It is close to the idea of the Russian formalists trying to change everyday reality scenes into artificial visions. We can find similar artistic approaches throughout the whole 20th century. One of them was Vorticism. A photograph was more important in a visual than a substantive sense (Vortograph - Alvin Langdon Coburn).
