Connecting with water as an entity in the built environment
We know that everything is connected by water. Where there is water there is life. Every living being is born in water and continues to be a waterbody. Water gives life and water sustains life. When life ends water leaves the body.
In every religion or belief water has (had) multiple spiritual meanings. The meaning of giving life, (re)birth, power, cleansing, knowledge, salvation, refreshment, healing, transferring, flowing, energising and so on.
This installation researches and communicates on multiple levels how we can restore and redefine our reciprocal relationship with the most important element of life: water.
What does it mean and what would it look like for us and our built environment to have an everyday worldly connection with water as an entity. Following up in accordance with the stated intention for water to bring science and magic together.
