This body of work explores the fluidity of life, water being a fundamental element of its functioning. This work becomes an aerial view, mapping the natural ever-changing borders created by rivers and flood lines. The artwork explores the effect of climate change on water levels, questioning the sustainability of shifting natural boundaries created by waterways and oceans.

According to a new report from WHO and UNICEF (2017):

  2.1 billion people, or 30%, do not have access to readily available safe water

  4.5 billion people, or 60% of the world's population, do not have safely managed sanitation services.
