Afterimage VI

Dima Rebus is a contemporary artist whose practice explores the evolution of everyday human life through water samples collected by strangers around the world. These individuals become his co-authors: some send their samples directly, while many leave them anonymously in parks, alleyways, abandoned buildings, and busy streets for the artist to discover. Rebus has assembled a vast library of waters from rains, rivers, seas, oceans, and glaciers, each preserved as both environmental record and human message. He freezes these samples with watercolor pigments, lets them melt onto varied paper surfaces, and then enters the resulting abstract fields with figurative imagery, turning each work into a bridge between distant lives, material transformation, and the poetics of connection.
