Weaving the gallery with 6 mm PVC hoses connected to kinetic sculptures, their installation renders three states of water (solid, liquid, and gas) through physical reactions. The resulting movements produce a soundscape that flows throughout the gallery.

Mirroring water’s movement through the hydrological cycle, 𝙎𝙤𝙛𝙩 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 proposes that varied forms of resilience can create collective transformation within social ecosystems.
