Description:

WATER is one of seven sculptural installations that make up the WATER Spells project. Each installation illustrates a step in the wastewater treatment process. WATER corresponds to the bar screens, where large objects are removed from the water. Made of cast acrylic and found objects, Hung’s work has made visible the obvious consequences of throwing trash down your toilet.
