#BathArt has taken off in the rise of photo-led, social channels like Instagram as a mean to engage with a community of people who enjoy bath bombs and want to share photographic experiences. The rise of #BathArt has led inventors, wannabe artists and photographers to push new boundaries inspired by the stories told through perfume and essential bath oils. The range for creative motivation is about how we can tell stories through images in the form of bath art. In an attempt for metamorphosis, influenced by journeys and change, what starts with one bath bomb and a layer of color transforms to another layer of visuals. Envisioned in unfurling hues to create pieces that should live in experimental galleries combined with visual displays to tell stories, the truth is in the eye of the beholder. Bath bomb products are made with ingredients which have great benefits for skin and health but trying to keep up the element of being special means every single experience is unique. I have experimented with a multi-layer technique putting two or more colors together and seeing what I could create out of it. The bath bomb itself creates a layer or canvas on the bathwater. I work in a visual way and was looking to introduce color combinations within the lustrous and glitter. The surface of water acts as a new canvas for photographs so that I could add layers to visually display a set of colors on. No sketch pad or canvas physically needed, instead a freshly-drawn bath, still as glass or torrent like the sea, in anticipation of a sodium bicarbonate explosion. Everyone has the opportunity to be a photographer and every space has the potential to be gallery.
