The same water, always returning in the fragile circle of life.

There is one water. The very same water that was running in the dinosaur's veins is raining over us today, growing within the fruits, making our tears, cooling nuclear power plants. The one and the same water being use, over and over again, being process, over and over again. From the sky down to our bodie s, back to earth, back to the oceans, back to the sky, back to our bodies. From the past into the future: Same water.

The only water.

Two frameworks in steel, perpendicular to each other, divided in smaller rectangles. In the rectangles are hanging drip-bottles containing different liquids, water transformed by different process: rain, river, sea; wine, milk, beer; blood, tears, urine, etc. All the bottles are connected to each other with a system of tubes (as in hospitals) so the liquids slowly mix. The lower bottles drip into the earth, and all returns to the very beginning.

The liquids in the drip-bottles are:
