In this still life, Popov arranges a series of water glasses into a study of transparency and saturation. The horizontal orientation allows the eye to travel across a rhythmic sequence of color, observing how the water acts as a lens that bends and intensifies each shade. By stripping away any extraneous detail, the artist focuses entirely on the physical properties of light as it passes through glass and fluid.

The work adheres to a minimal aesthetic, relying on clean lines and a clear, bright palette to build visual interest. Rather than a complex narrative, the piece finds its strength in the quiet geometry of the vessels and the soft gradients that emerge where the colors overlap. It is a precise photographic observation of how everyday objects can become conduits for a vivid, chromatic experience.
