I wouldn't say it's a minor thing. It's more part of the what's being said
with the image. Don't take it as a realistic photo with a touch of emotion,
but more a depiction of something, be it emotion, thought or whatever. Thus,
there's no logical explanation why a basin can get filled with water when
there's no plug. The filled basin is part of the "down the drain" thought,
it would be hard to convey that with an empty basin without showing that
something is going down the drain.

That's the fun of interpretation. Though I have my own explanation why I
want things to look like they do, I also like leaving enough room so that
others can find their own meaning and interpretation. It's part of thinking
about things to view them from various angles and taking several
possibilities into account. It seems like I accomplished that. :-)

Thank you. I hoped that it reflected something, not just for me. I do want
to make some small statement with my images, or I wouldn't make them
available for the public (and there are some that I don't).
