"consumed waters"
The sewage in the city of La Paz has put the rivers and lagoons as an escape route to dispose of sewage from the population, and many industries, throwing garbage and even animal parts and some clandestine slaughterhouses into the rivers, the sad part of all this is that many of these rivers flow into "Acequias" which are springs that generate a favorable flow of water to provide more humidity and temperature to the cultivation of peasant communities which irrigate their crops with this water, which they then harvest and bring them to sell to the cities, ironically they return to consume food irrigated with our contamination. What is water really for us, beyond a water resource that ensures life and food production? Do we have another kind of relationship with it or do we only see it as a vital liquid for consumption? In this project, I try to open my senses to explore the vast symbolism that water has in our daily lives and the practices that shape our relationship with all the forms and states in which this vital element manifests, emanates, transforms, and disappears.
