The research was born from the aim of communicating with water. After a long phase of photographic observation of the subject, I move on to study its language, recording through carbon paper the ripples present in the photographs produced. The process almost embodies a desire to decipher an alleged alphabetical code of water, in order to learn it and begin a dialogue. The analysis ends when I become aware of the fact that the search for an alphabet cannot work, as it is a purely human method of organizing the world.
The project is therefore a reflection on the importance of listening and empathizing with the other different forms of life (and more) with which we share the planet.
