Water is the essence of our planet and our lives. It takes many forms as it runs through our days: tears, ice, snow, steam, fog, clouds, and rain. Its energy manifests in ripples, currents, eddies, waves, tides, floods. Water can be reflective or transparent; it can carry us away or let us float. Water can carve its own course or show us the pattern of the wind. In these photographs and paintings, the artists invite us on their visual journey as they explore water in all of its guises.
