I never thoughts that a Popsicle would make an interesting subject on its own. I was proven wrong.

Everything Is Melting Reevaluates Our Love Of Popsicles

Australian photographer Will Nolan shot a series of Popsicles, not in their solid well formed state, but instead, he let them melt and took a photograph of the resulting colored puddle. He calls the series Everything Is Melting.

This is the exhibit blurb that explains the motivation for the series:

Everything is Melting, and its depiction of melting iceblocks, evokes the nostalgic memory of childhood but remains as a quiet reminder of the inescapable future of decay and death. The work explores the essence of transformation, harking back to the various incarnations of the evertold allegory of death and rebirth

I asked Will who those shapes were formed and he replied that “There was no interference with the melting icey poles. The way the shapes where formed, was by the tooth of the particular paper that I used. Different paper creates different shapes and it all has to do with absorption rate“
