Two Glasses of Water, New York, 1970

This image is a perfect example of how life and time pass us by without us as a whole recognizing. It also could give us a sense of two different kinds of water placed next to each other yet looking to the eye completely different. I get from this piece that the first glass, left, is right after the water was poured. With this said, the glass on the right is the water after is has been settled on the tabletop. The short period of time that goes unnoticed in everyday events like pouring a glass of water is fascinating when it is brought to our attention.
