The Water We Want 2023 - All Other Media

A little basin, with some rain water and some leaves, acts like a mirror for a young and curious human girl. The water reflects her, and she looks in there for past, present, and above all future.

There is a very close relationship between humans and nature, but people are slowly starting to break this connection through the pollution they create. This little dress is made as a symbol for the connection between humans and nature to remain alive. The dress is made from a trash bag found on the banks of the Gurghiu River and also some leaves found along the river bank. As an accessory, it has a bracelet made from glass bottle caps, also found on the river bank. The photo was taken on the right bank of the Gurghiu River, in Mures county. In this area, even though the water may appear clean, it is actually polluted by the plastic bottles and waste from nearby animal farms. However, compared to other places, the Gurghiu River remains relatively clean because the town halls of Ibanesti and Hodac fine people who pollute and hold them responsible for protecting the water. Through this photograph, I hope to draw people's attention to the fact that the connection between them and nature is very important. My message to the public is to pollute as little as possible in order to have cleaner water and try to recycle, just as I have done!

"Mathematics is the alphabet with which God wrote the universe", says Galileo Galilei, so we find it everywhere, including underground. Drops of water falling into groundwater form perfect concentric circles, as perfect as all the world we live in and which without water would not exist.

The "Purity" creation represents the desired clarity of water, found in two of its three states: liquid and ice. I chose this picture to draw attention to a huge problem, namely pollution. The piece of ice together with the lake symbolizes the extremely small amount of clean and orderly water on Earth, a problem that seems endless, but is artificially discussed, treated with indifference by an enormously large percentage of our planet's population. Let's unite to save our planet!

Beauty is not always in front of you, time will make it disappear. But maybe sometime it had a sentimental value, where the memories are kept.

In this photograph, I wanted to show the colors and textures of our landscape, from the water of the Cinca River to the the red clay mountain in the distance. I wanted also to reflect on the beauty and power of the rivers that flow through our landscapes.

I wanted to reflect the unique and beautiful intersection of these three rivers, which have played an important role in the region's history and culture. In the middle, it appears the sillouette of the medieval castle of Mequinenza.

I wanted to highlight the way in which water has shaped and sculpted the landscape over time, carving out patterns and formations in the rocks and earth. Also, I wanted to appreciate the delicate balance of forces that shape our planet.

This photo wants to capture the contrast between the arid desert mountains on the one side of the river and the lush green mountains on the other, with the striking blue color of the Ebro River in the middle. It was taken from the top of a hydroelectric power plant in Mequinenza, so the photo wants to highlight the beauty of our environment and remind the complex relationship between humanity and water.

The photo captures the beauty of the water at sunrise, with a bridge spanning the calm, flowing Segre River in Mequinenza. I was inspired by the idea of representing the everyday presence of water in our lives, and sought to capture this in an artistic way. The bridge in the photograph is located just beside our school, serving as a reminder of the water's constant presence in our daily routines.

Sustainability, so fundamental issue as it is, is transferred and analysed in the most common activities of everyday life, virtuous behaviours that allow a sustainable use have been underlined. Our main aim is to show how too often the belief in the inexhaustible abundance of water is wrongly taken for granted. Our workshop ultimate result consists of a series of drawings, linked to the central topic which is the very same subject of this competition: “The Water we would like to have”
