A central focus of Hacmon's career has been the study of water's composition, properties, and movement, which led him to develop a photographic technique, Faces of Water.

Inspired by movement of water, Hacmon uses nano-film technology to captures water's invisible forms. [10] [11] Kyle VanHemert of Wired explains Hacmon's technique uses a special type of film with a layer of liquid iron that "records the movement of the water itself". [12]

In an interview with VoyageLA, Hacmon describes Faces of Water, as "part art, part science, part spiritual awakening." [5] In 2013, Hacmon's art exhibition Faces of Water was first displayed by The Hub LA, in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles. [13]

Personal life

Moses has been known to have a strained relationship with his sister, Hila Klein. This tension stems from multiple issues, primarily involving Trisha's long history of drama with Hila and her husband, Ethan Klein, who run the H3 Podcast. The conflict intensified when Moses and Trisha started dating in 2020. Trisha had publicly feuded with Ethan and Hila before, often making negative remarks about them.

When Trisha and Moses got engaged, the drama escalated, with the H3 Podcast frequently discussing their relationship. Hila and Ethan were also concerned about Moses' involvement with Trisha, as they believed Trisha was manipulative and caused turmoil in their family. The situation worsened after Trisha and Moses had their child, Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon, in 2022.

H3 fans speculated that there was continued estrangement between Moses and Hila, as there was no public acknowledgment of the baby from the Kleins. Ethan and Hila have generally avoided discussing Moses and Trisha in detail after their falling out, but it's widely assumed that the family remains distant.
