Oil on Water
‘Oil on Water’ is an abstract photography project, in which young people were asked to describe/visualize their emotions associated with pandemic using colors. First, they needed to find color papers, T-shirts or cloth that provided a background for their photograph. This particular technique required to lit the background with a torch or desk lamp so that the light shone onto the colored backdrop. A container filled half with water was placed 25cm above the prepared background. Then drops of oil was carefully poured on the water surface, which created a painterly effect.
