Aqua: Digital paintings made up of OS X elements

dropsHere's more proof that beauty can often lie hidden, even though it's right before your eyes. Digital artist Johannes P Osterhoff found an artistic quality to Apple's Aqua user interface and decided to base a series of digital "paintings" using several of its elements.

With a few simple and subtle alterations, Osterhoff was able to make what looks like actual water droplets or ice, only using elements of Aqua (hence the series' name), at least at first glance.

So far Osterhoff is making use of very few elements of the Aqua UI, so I'd like to see what can be done with something else. There's only so much that can be done with bubbles and bars.

lol, Warhol would've chuckled. except the guy who did the original Campbell's soup graphic was probably dead when he did his famous prints. I wonder how the original Apple artist(s) feel about this guy.
