A preview of Water, first of the new four part Elements series.
 
   
   

Water peeps out from behind the reeds, revealing a liquid face that could break into tears or laughter at any second.

Water is the first of a planned four-part series called Elements. The series will consist of smaller pieces such as the one shown, corresponding to the four classic elements of fire, earth, air and water .

The four elements date back to Empedocles, (ca. 495-435 B.C) who claimed that they combined in various ways to make all matter. While modern physics has replaced Empedocles ideas as an explanation of matter, the idea of the four elements had a profound and lasting effect on Western civilization and are passed on to us today in the traditions of music, astrology, and the Bible.
