Linda MacManus is a visual artist living and working in Wellington. This photo is part of an ongoing photographic series that uses ordinary tap water as the subject of intense portraits as an exploration into how art can challenge perceptions, suggesting different ways of looking at the world around us.

In a studio setting, against a black background, the tap water is transformed into a mysterious and exquisite substance, alive with energy, seductive and entrancing. How often do we turn on a tap to wash our hands or pour a cup of coffee and not notice the stunning beauty of this life giving substance in motion.
