We Are Water was an immersive audiovisual installation that combined the elements of water and sound to reveal that one of the universe’s main characteristics is its vibrational. This notion was first exposed in Eastern philosophy and later confirmed by 20th-century quantum physicists when they realized that all physical matter is composed of molecules jiggling in space.
Even objects that appear to be static are, in fact, vibrating, oscillating, and resonating at various frequencies. Ultimately, all matter is just vibrations of various underlying fields. As such, at every scale, all of nature vibrates.
We Are Water seeks to spark the viewer’s curiosity to connect consciously with the most essential element on the planet. The one that allows life to take place on Earth. And realize that Earth is one living organism assembled by natural elements and millions of living organisms, including us.
By realizing the interconnectivity of all things from a perspective where ecology is the center, we will be able to recognize our responsibility to Nature, to our planet, and to the whole.
