Ideas come at the most unexpected times.
I was standing in front of the water filter looking over the rim of the plastic cup held to my mouth at people bustling about the toilets and coffee machine oblivious to their surroundings when it hit me - I saw a non existent goldfish 'gloobing' about in the water filter as the bubbles rushed up around it. It stared back at me with glassy eyes.
Everyday we see so much that is so gapingly wrong, out of the ordinary, odd or strange at the least, but we have become so mechanised and automated that we scarcely even stop to look- let alone react.
To me, this goldfish in this water filter epitomises everyone of us, at some point of time we're all either in or outside this water filter, waiting. Passive. Continuing. Existing.
And the only problem here is that we've almost gotten used to it.
[THOUGHT BEHIND THE SCENE: I could have shown the tap running, with just it's tail as the rest of the body is sucked into the lower container - or conversely the fish in no more than an inch of water. Put the image in a background so as to give it context. There are over a dozen ways to represent this. However I chose this. Because the viewer knows what all 'can' happen in the time after this particular frame.
But for now, we're just happily oblivious.]
Nothing Strange.
