In this artwork experiment, two water samples were introduced one into another. Outside is polluted water from the Hudson River and inside is water that underwent complete purification and ionization. The two samples were sealed under a glass dome. After two weeks, the purified water was tested and the results showed the presence of some contaminants found in the polluted water, and the polluted water was cleared of some of its contaminants. The two waters were connected. They “talked” to each other and exchanged contaminants through the glass.
I created this set of jewelry for my wife to protect her from lead in the tap water of our house. I hope that if she wears it, she will have immunity against lead poisoning. The pieces contain lead-poisoned water.
