These photos are fantastic manipulations that depict water in place of fire. As images, these photographic manipulations are quite hard to get your mind around. It's really interesting how Micah was able to manipulate the water to flow in the same way as fire burns, or at least appear to. The contrast between what is expected to be the subject matter and what is actually there is very observable, and creates a tension in the mind. I think replacing the subject matter completely changes the meaning of the image, considering that water is often associated with healing, cooling, and nourishment, while fire is generally representitive of destruction, fuel, or heat.
