Moon Drops

Living without water is a frequent topic of my thoughts. I’ve been working on this for several years, experimenting several different environments and testing various behaviours, using nanotechnologies and old traditional tools. My aim is always to find a possible way to survive till the end of the world. On the other hand I feel that sometimes it’s useful for humans to spread water all over, for emotional needs, scenic taste, air purifying. Moon Drops is a fountain, in a glass bubble, working as an air purifier and moon city urban decoration.
