Your Glass of Water

Iman Tajik, 2017
Your Glass of Water is a multi-channel performative video installation presented in looped formats. Working with water as both medium and metaphor, the piece weaves images of everyday life with visuals that are partially obscured by water, drawing attention to its distortions and depths.

The work reflects upon the European migrant crisis: the lives of refugees who flee conflict, whose journeys are filled with uncertainty, longing, and the hope for safety and a better life. By using water to blur, filter, and transform familiar scenes, Tajik explores themes of visibility/invisibility, fragility, displacement, and hope.

Through this installation, Your Glass of Water invites viewers to consider how ordinary life is altered under displacement, how small shifts in perspective can reveal larger truths, and how water—essential for life—can also act as barrier, veil, or mirror to human struggle and endurance.
