i made this ordinary work of art from a recycled chocolate foil.. this is the first foil artwork i've made using foil as my major medium.
the title of this work reminds me that i chose to make this one because it is the simplest topic that came into my mind. But now, looking back to this work, i realize that Holmes was right. Quoting from him, "From a drop of water, a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other. So all life is a great chain... " A drop of water gives a hint that life exists in a planet.. In a drop of water is fire, earth, and air.. as they all say - the four basic elements..
"Heavy substances such as iron and metals were considered to
be primarily consisting of the "element" of earth, with a limited
amount of matter from the other elements. Other, less heavy and/or dense
objects were thought to be less earthy, and composed of a greater mixture of
the other elements. Humans were created with all of the substances, with the
exception of aether, but the relative proportion of elements was unique to each
person, and there was no standard amount of each within the human body."
