In The Search Of Water

Piece description from the artist

In this piece I looked for inspiration to the ancient "bushmen":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmen tribes of Australia. Their ability to survive in the "Outback":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outback for thousands of years is absolutely amazing . This is however a modern take on mapping and topography. Who knows the way things are going in today s world and the lack of fresh water, we might need the ancient wisdom more than ever.
