Images that seem to have been taken from archives - with the superficial layer of color, the orange that bears the mark of time - represent a distant past. However, this is not the past of this present, but rather the past of future times. In this series, the artist discusses the presence and absence of a precious natural resource: water. In these images, there is a gradual disappearance of this element. What will be done to contain this change?
