Water is an elixir to our lives, without it, our bodies will stop regulating and will lead to death. In order for the world to protect this natural resource, we must preserve it. In today’s industrialized society we are able to renew sewage and unclean liquids to become filtered/clean water. However this technological advancement has only increased due to the multiple chemical liquids that factories are producing such as juice or soft drinks.
In Chemical Elixir, the photograph displays a wide range of different chemical drinks and water that humans consume. This photo is converted into a gray scale colour, to demonstrate the waters purity and its tarnish from chemicals. The bottles containing the transparent liquids show the purity of water whereas the dark and murky bottles show the opposite. This photo portrays how manufacturers preserve these liquid chemicals with care and packaging and continuously use its water supply when instead they should be preserving and conserving our water supply. The water tarnished with chemicals contradicts the preservation of water and how we decide to change this pure natural resource into something man-made.
I captured this photo at a store where they had a wide selection of juices and soft drinks, and I decided to use this setting because the lighting from the display produced a cold and lab-like setting to the observers. The repetition of the bottles in each row also forms a nice element and the viewers are able to recognize that the main focal point of my photo is water/liquids.
