Water returns to spaces it once claimed—abandoned reservoirs, drained swimming pools, and ancient geological formations shaped by tides long receded. These places exist in a state of rustic liminality, caught between presence and absence, movement and stillness.

Art-making has historically favored dryness—watercolor dries, paint sets, sculptures are carved from stone or cast in permanence. But here, water is not just a medium; it is an active force. Artworks are designed to be submerged, reflected, and reshaped, their surfaces shifting with ripples and distortions. Flowing water breathes life into static forms, while stagnation introduces slowness, sediment, and quiet dissolution.

Fluidity extends beyond the physical—characters, narratives, and meanings shift with the water’s ebb and flow. The same artwork might speak of renewal in one moment and erosion in the next. This is not art that resists time but embraces it, where rehydration, decay, and change become part of the artistic lifecycle, dissolving the boundary between creation and transformation.
