From H2O

Water DOES NOT equate to H2O

This site is an ongoing investigation on water as more than just the utilitarian substance that is H2O. This investigation has its roots in my Master of Architecture Program at Georgia Institute of Technology. Although it can be said that I have always had a fascination with water in all forms. Some of the examples of my personal work presented here were actually composed prior to the summer independent study that prompted the development of this web catalog of information, this fact further elaborates on my fascination/obsession with water. To gain a deeper understanding of the main direction of this investigation it would be beneficial to take a look at the initial proposal for my 2008 Summer Semester Independent Study.

Because of the many facets that can be associated with this investigation some of what will be viewed main appear to be simply streams of thought which have not coalesced into it's final state. This is intentional because of the many possible directions and applications that the information can be applied. For instance there may be pages full of similar images with very little explanation for why they are being presented. This is in part because when I captured the images I knew there was importance to them but have yet to pin down the many possible implications/applications for their importance. In other cases the images may be presented to as they are in order for them to speak for themselves and allow for spur of the moment interpretations. This is an ongoing investigation. Just because the 2008 Summer Semester Independent Study ends with a document of the research does not mean that the research will be over.
