Experimental Typography: “Water Makes Many Beds”

This project is an experimental exploration of typography, inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem “Water Makes Many Beds.” Using transparent film printed with lines from the poem, I transformed a vintage 1920s bathtub into a dynamic canvas. By filling it with water and photographing the interplay of light and motion with my iPhone flashlight in a darkened room, I captured unique, fluid images where text and movement merge. The result is a series of visuals that highlight the ephemeral, transformative qualities of both water and language.
