To Water Is to Be

Nanno Simonis (NL)

Water embodies a duality of contrasting states. It can simultaneously exhibit forcefulness and delicacy, hostility and tranquillity. The water within the artwork transcends the constraints of the glass enclosure, manifesting its dynamic nature. The explosive artwork encourages reflection on the interconnectedness of water, nature, and climate. Inviting viewers to contemplate the fragile balance of our ecosystems to maintain balance. An organized, boxed flood, perfectly under control. Or is it?
