The Water We Want 2025 - All Other Media

A person does not know the value of water until it is lost. The earth that brings us together means that the responsibility to preserve water belongs to everyone. The splitting of the earth into two halves represents the spilling of water, indicating the excessive consumption of this vital resource and humanity's inability to stop the leak. The sad woman and the background color highlight all the negatives, such as drought, diseases, and epidemics. In the end, the artwork calls for the preservation of water.

The project focuses on Smart Aman, an innovative concept designed to reduce water consumption, communicated through storytelling and digital media. The story follows Elyas, a young animated character who discovers the problem of water scarcity. Inspired by this challenge, he embarks on a journey to create a solution aimed at decreasing water use in Hammams, which he called Smart Aman.

As a species, water is the most important resource we have, and we must do our best to conserve it. But what is nature's way of preserving water? What other secrets does water hold? To answer these questions, I made a short video with animation to clearly understand the concept. Made with Premiere Pro, Photopea and Geometry Dash for particles.

My project talks about the importance of water in our life. Why is water important? And how can we avoid wasting water to live in a better world? These are the topics of my video. In the first part, I imagined a story that talks about the diversity of water before, where I answered the first question. In the second part, I give advice to save water and avoid wasting it. We must save water, because it's the most important resource in our life to stay alive. We can't stay without drinking water, even for one hour. This is why I created this project.

This image of a water fountain flipped upside down makes us think about how we see water. We often take it for granted, but water is essential for life, and we need to start looking at it differently. By turning the image around, I want to show that we have to change our perspective on water and the way we use it. Water is not something we can just waste - it's a limited resource that needs our care.

My photo reminds us of the importance of keeping water clean and protected. The river, once clear and beautiful, could easily be damaged by pollution or waste. The tire in the photo shows how even things we leave behind can affect nature in ways we don't always see. This image makes me think about how we need to take better care of our water sources, so that we can keep enjoying natural places like this without damaging them for the young generations.

The Drought's Footprint shows an image of the sunrise over the Segre river, that looks very different due to drought. The water, which is normally close to the shore, is now much farther away, leaving a dry canal in the earth that was once covered by water.. This photo aims to show how drought affects us, leaving visible traces of how nature is impacted. It's a reminder of how important it is to take care of our rivers and think about how we can help prevent these situations from getting worse.

Is a short film about how pollution and waste harm water. Throug videos of clean and dirty wáter. The water tells its own story, explaining how it has been essential for life, but now suffers from contamination. Its purity contrasts with its decline. The final message seeks to raise awareness and encourage people to protect this vital resource before its too late.

The Qiantang River tidal trees, shaped by the powerful tides of the mother river of Zhejiang province — the Qiantang River, show nature's rhythm and life's strength. These tide-made channels in the mudflats tell the story of how land and river tidal meet each day. This photo captures water-carved marks on their "trunks" and their glow under the sun, revealing both their beauty and their fight to survive in the tough tidal zone. This wonder of nature makes us think about protecting our planet and the unyielding power of life.

This film follows the journey of a stray cat, guiding viewers into a world gradually losing its color. The dark, oppressive imagery at the beginning symbolizes the heavy cost of neglecting hydraulic heritage and damaging the water ecosystem: rivers dry up, land cracks open, and life falls silent. Amidst this silence stands Dujiangyan, an ancient hydraulic marvel that has quietly endured. When humanity awakens and begins to protect this precious heritage, the world slowly comes back to life. Green returns, and vitality reemerges. Through striking visual contrasts and emotional resonance, the film calls for refreshing water resources and highlights the symbiotic relationship between water and human civilization. Only by respecting nature, inheriting ancient wisdom, and pursuing sustainable development can we safeguard our shared future. "Every drop of water is the lifeblood of civilization; every hydraulic heritage is a monument etched by time. To protect them is not only a reflection on history, but also a solemn pledge to the future.

The song is a passionate call for environmental awareness, emphasising the fundamental importance of water as a cornerstone of life while denouncing its waste and pollution. Through vivid imagery that highlights the drying up of rivers and polluted seas, the song delivers an urgent message about the dwindling water resources and the detrimental impact on health and ecosystems. It advocates for a range of practical water saving measures, such as turning off taps, taking shorter showers, optimising watering times for plants, and collecting rainwater. Furthermore, the lyrics criticise the irresponsibility of industrial and governmental bodies, urging the enforcement of stricter regulations and accountability for those who pollute or squander this indispensable resource. The overall aim of the song is to galvanise both individuals and institutions into adopting sustainable practices, ensuring the conservation of water resources and securing a healthier, more balanced future for the planet.

The result of a premeditated idea, the work starts from a simple recording of a human stirring natural water in the basin of a lake. This theme aims to explore the sonic quality of water, so we first synthesised a kick (bassdrum), emulating the traditional 909 synthesisers used at the time. That's where the inspiration related to nineties Eurotrance came from. From there, with an atmosphere rich in reverb and sound effects, we used the recording itself as an operator of convolution reverb algorithms - widely used in this type of track. In the space of a couple of days, the music was mixed, and an introduction was added alluding to this theme. Although short, this project ultimately aims to diversify the works competing in this competition, further sensitising the public to the importance of water as part of the exploration of our passion, alongside the development of technical and creative skills.

The video "4 rivers, 1 message: Let's Protect Freshwater!" was created to show that our rivers - Kupa, Korana, Mrežnica, and Dobra - are more than water: they are life, the future, and our responsibility. Through authentic footage and strong messages from participants, we raise awareness of the importance of preserving natural beauty and warn about the threats of pollution. Each river has its own story, and together they send one message: the water we want must be clean, safe, and respected. Our project is a call to action - for current and future generations who deserve clean nature and a healthy environment.

The poem reflects on the importance of water for life on Earth, emphasizing its purity, serenity, and essential role in sustaining biodiversity. It describes the water cycle, from its source to its journey through rivers, lakes, and oceans, and highlights its significance for plant growth and the creation of joyful memories. At the same time, the poem issues a warning about the lack of protection and preservation of water, underscoring the need to care for this vital resource for the well-being of future generations. It concludes with an appeal for collective responsibility in safeguarding water and ensuring the continuity of life.

In the video, water is portrayed as fundamental to the existence of life in all its diversity. As such, protecting it should not be an individual responsibility, but a collective effort toward a better future for everyone.

“These Sweet Tears" is a poem that celebrates the beauty of rainfall. It is about how rainwater nourishes the earth, nurturing life and filling everyone with joy with its presence. It explores the forms of water, and how humans are slowly, but surely, polluting this beautiful gift of life we've gotten. Through animals and nature, it elaborates the stages of water, and the necessity of water and how important it is to humans in many forms - to drink, and for worship; however, for animals, it's just a source of life, which humans are polluting. This poem explores this settlement only, loss of water, the late human realization of his actions and the consequences everyone has to face.

"A weeping sky" represents the vital yet often-overlooked process of precipitation. This atmospheric phenomenon, far from simply being rain, snow, or hail, is part of a complex hydrological cycle that is crucial to life on Earth.
The process begins with evaporation, lifting water vapor into the atmosphere. As this vapor rises, it cools and condenses around microscopic particles, forming clouds. These clouds, composed of countless water droplets or ice crystals, grow heavier until gravity overcomes the upward air currents, leading to precipitation.
The type of precipitation depends on atmospheric temperature. Warm air produces rain, while colder temperatures result in snow or hail, each with unique characteristics and impacts.
Precipitation replenishes freshwater sources, sustains ecosystems, and influences global weather patterns. Understanding its intricacies from cloud formation to ground impact—is vital for managing water resources, predicting weather events, and ultimately contributing to human survival and environmental sustainability.
The weeping sky, therefore, is not merely a picturesque scene; it is a fundamental process sustaining life.

The video describes the environmental problem of eutrophication, which occurs when a body of water receives an excess of nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus. A graph is shown illustrating the capacity to reduce the concentration of Escherichia coli between the water entering the oasis and the water leaving it. These data were determined by students of the IIS Levi-Ponti within a ten year collaborative project with the Consortium Acque Risorgive for the reclamation of spring waters of Venice aimed at monitoring the phytodepurative capacity of the Lycaena Oasis of Salzano. The video shows the magical role of nature capable of purifying water and the curiosity of the students (little scientists) who discover and investigate the mechanisms hidden from simple observation.

The video describes the environmental problem of eutrophication, which occurs when a body of water receives an excess of nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus. In the first part of the video, the main phases of the process are outlined using the stop motion technique: sources of pollution, algal growth, development of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, creation of an oxygen-free environment and death of aquatic organisms. In the second part, the use of wetlands is proposed as a possible solution to the eutrophication of watercourses. A graph is shown illustrating the capacity to reduce the concentration of Escherichia coli between the water entering the oasis and the water leaving it. These data were determined by students of the llS Levi-Ponti within a ten-year collaborative project with the Consortium Acque Risorgive far the reclamation of spring waters of Venice aimed at monitoring the phytodepurative capacity of the Lycaena Oasis of Salzano. The water leaving the Lycaena oasis flows into the Venice lagoon. Phytoremediation is therefore a solution compatible with Goal 14, "Life Below Water", of the 2030 Agenda which aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
