Water is not only a source that sustains us, it also makes for creative works of art. Check out the slideshow below for beautiful water art installations featuring water blurred paintings to oil and water photography.
Implications - Water may look plain but renditions of this substance have often led to inspirational ideas. Bruce Lee used it as a metaphor for adaptation, literature has depicted the liquid as magical, and now artists are displaying their interpretations knowing that there's more than meets the eye. Capture it flowing in mid-air, use it as a painting technique; water is a life-sustaining source that has its root in myths and creative expression.
