Project 1 Water

Throughout history the element of water has been associated with a rich symbolism. In its many forms, dew, rain, seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, ice etc. – it is an archetypal symbol for birth, death, and creativity. 

Water is an ancient and universal symbol of purity, fertility and the source of life. In many cosmologies life arose from primordial waters. 

In a general sense, water is an emblem of all fluidity in the material world and of dissolution, mingling, cohesion, birth and re-generation. 

So there is plenty of scope to approach this project literally or metaphorically. 

Your only limit is your creativity.
