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?

Nanno Simonis
A sonic and visual artist exploring the fabric of our world, seeing of the artificial and distortion, alternation, and repositioning of reality. He sets out to find poetry in our surroundings and our perception of it. In search for the existing language within, in order to reframe the elements of our reality, observing what lies beyond the surface.
