Water Abacus
Water droplets on the windows bars and on the clothesline have fascinated everyone. In normal circumstances the droplet size is smaller than or comparable to the thickness of the supporting wire. In this water sculpture the drops are almost ten times the size of the wire. The bead like effect creates the impression of an abacus. The effect itself was achieved by lubricating the wire and carefully increasing the size of the drop.
