""Nearly every sample arrives with a letter, opening a dialogue shaped by place, mood, memory, and time. Over the years, I've built an archive of waters from rain, rivers, seas, oceans, and glaciers, each preserved as both material record and human message.""
""In her series Floaters, Rebus processes these crowdsourced units by freezing them with watercolor pigments, which she then allows to melt across the substrate, creating abstract color fields.""
Dima Rebus transforms the traditional notion of painting by incorporating water samples from strangers into her artwork. Her series Floaters features these samples frozen with watercolor pigments, which melt to create abstract color fields. Rebus adds figures and landscapes, evoking aquatic themes. Each sample often comes with a letter, contributing to a dialogue about place, mood, and memory. Over time, she has built an archive of diverse water sources, preserving both material and human stories within her art.
