H2O
H2O collection reflects on an immediate, global issue: the water crisis.
I observe water as a vital element but at the same time a threat to the inhabitants of Earth due to the climate catastrophe. Using different approaches, I investigate water and the questions of interdependence and cause-effect. I also explore the possible outcomes of a dystopian future.
In what ways does water influence our environment? What could be the consequences of the pollution we create? What happens if the quality or the quantity of water drastically changes?
My jewels aim to create awareness to this universal matter.
acidic water has an effect not only on nature but also on human-built structures. corrosion compromises the stability of our constructions.

Without water life would not exist on Earth, this applies to other planets in our universe. For instance, Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide which causes a runaway greenhouse effect and creates higher surface temperature than 470 degrees Celsius. It is so hot on the planet, metals like tin or lead would melt.
Will global warming bring the same destiny for Earth?
