Water and ice, critical for life on earth, and considered to be essential for life anywhere in the universe, have long been the focus of science. As of 2021, twenty different forms of crystalline ice exist throughout the universe (in addition to amorphous variants) in hugely varying environments. This piece is inspired by the ice/water phase diagram, with pressure on the x-axis and temperature on the w-axis. Each section is inspired by the crystal structure of that particular form of ice, with liquid water swirling freely at the top.
