A puddle appears transiently after a rain, and provides that brief period of fun and imagination to children and artists alike.

The puddle reflects the landscape, the sky, the light and a window that fluctuates with its environs. It offers a mode of perspective in which an upside down viewer stares back.

The viewer comes to realise the “non-existing” qualities of the puddle because it reflects something “existing” in the surroundings.

The puddle is a sculpture by itself through negating itself, and in its place new interactions between human, environs and art appear.
