The Shinchi Maruyama 'Kusho' is a Stunning Performance Piece

Although the Shinchi Maruyama 'Kusho' photo series isn't the first of its kind, there is something extremely unique about it. I think it has to do with the intentional movements of the liquid used, which results in true water sculptures that simply take your breath away.

As though pitting clear water against contaminated water, the Shinchi Maruyama 'Kusho' series is more a performance piece than anything else. That said, take a moment to view the video above.
