Jose Alva & Sushma Mishra — Water

Water

Many times, rather often, we miss that which is simple but beautiful and a must in our life. Jose and I have tried to express the beauty of water in its simplicity and brought together expressions in the water droplets which it tries to portray through its glistening surfaces.A frozen moment in time as a droplet of water splashes into a pool of water, capturing the beauty and chaos of motion. Each drop looks like a miniature world reflecting the surrounding trees and sky on its surface. Droplet photography reveals the hidden universe in the drop where tiny worlds of refracted images coalesce on different surfaces.
