Art Roca’s Waterdrop Exhibit Makes A Splash

What makes water so calming? Normally you’d have to trek to the Caribbean to study its best qualities, like a deep blue color and hypnotic ripple effect. But now a Spanish designer has recreated the soothing spectacle of an ocean'without using any actual water'for an exhibit called Waterdrop.
