Melting Symbols
The practice attempts to create a de-symbolising process by melting ice.
Baudrillard pointed out that consumption means an activity consisting of the systematic manipulation of signs. The practice uses ice to make bottled water of the same volume with different brands and prices, including the most expensive water in the world Fillico Jewelry Water, using a larger symbol (Luxury water) constructed from many luxury symbols (Crown studded with diamonds). When time passes, all the symbolic features will melt into water, which is something we really need to consume.
