Spring puddle series (set of 12)

Olafur Eliasson's *Spring puddle series (set of 12)* presents a sequential meditation on the transient beauty of water collecting on urban or natural surfaces, capturing the fleeting reflections and shifting light that define the passage of seasons. Working across his characteristic themes of perception, nature, and phenomenology, Eliasson invites viewers to consider the overlooked poetic qualities of an everyday occurrence. The set of twelve works suggests a cyclical or durational framework, encouraging a contemplative engagement with time, change, and the natural world.
