WATER

"If Earth had an intergalactic symbol, surely it must be water." We came across this statement while doing research for an ongoing project we're calling Hydromap.

Coming from drought-prone Southern California, where water and its use are both personal and political, we've been photographing water in its various forms, seeking out the origins and terminals of the flow of the waterways of our region, and trying to find our way to visually reconnect with our fundamental relationship to the compound that literally makes us what we are. We see this search as akin to drawing a map - one which has both geographically specific locations, as well as a more figurative overlay of myth and meaning that we ascribe to its subject.
