Ephemera is an installation composed of glass vessels that are hydrophobically treated for controlled micro/nano structures on surfaces. On pouring a carbonated liquid, bubble generation is activated, with bubbles of carbon dioxide of various sizes sticking at defined points on the surface. These bubble images and patterns are stable for one day before they start to gradually shrink and disappear.
