Save the Waters, Save the ..., Save the ...
Site interventions2025
Save the Waters is a site-responsive, intervention unfolding wherever leaks appear. Beginning in Tulum, Mexico but expanding globally, the work engages with water as both a disappearing resource and a contested space - where tourism, development, and extractivist economies leave traces of excess and absence. I move through urban and natural spaces, locating leaks and using only discarded materials, rubbish, and found objects to divert, collect, or slow the loss of water.
By repurposing what has been left behind - plastic debris, broken infrastructure, remnants of overconsumption - the work exposes the contradictions of environmental care in a world built on disposability. It is an act both absurd and urgent, a choreography of repair that refuses permanence. Each intervention is temporary, each collection inevitably spills, evaporates, or seeps back into the ground. Yet the attempt, the attention, remains.
There is no final form, only process: documentation as archive, intervention as repetition, the body in relation to what leaks away. Each attempt raises questions: What does it mean to care? What does it mean to take responsibility for what exceeds us? How do we navigate the paradox of intervention—between the absurd and the necessary, between the temporary and the systemic? How might small acts of preservation, care, and attention offer a new way of seeing - of moving with, rather than against - the flow of environmental collapse?
