Water is a strategic resource in the globe and an important element in many political conflicts. Thus water from three different categories of countries is collected: from areas with imminent water shortage problems, countries which produce the most CO2 emissions and areas which will be affected by rising sea levels. This selection deals with the context of the water crisis and shows the causes and effects of climate change. The final artwork has the objective to make a broad public audience aware of environmental problems. The project will aim to actively engage its participants and educate them on the topics of environmental and social responsibility.
