Artist Expression:
In this artwork, Reverse Osmosis has been used as an reference for the visual movement of heavy metal. When there is pressure, heavy metal will attract to the filter via the force of water pressure. It can't go further into the filter and end up expel out of the filter while the pressure is reducing. Only water can move freely in this artwork. Inorganic Water has been packaged with 7 types of unwanted substance such as Arsenic, Mercury, Lead, Rust and Copper which is all under Heavy Metal category. These are the materials that can be found in our daily water consumption. In order to avoid drinking all these Heavy Metal, we must extract it out. Hence, a sound expression has been created to trigger a sense of positive feeling from audience when the process of reverse osmosis is running. It represents the water has been purified and creating a relax, peaceful and happy emotion to people around them. They can drink the water without extra consideration once they know the water has been purified.
