TALKING WATER: does beauty save the world?
An event to improve the language where emotions are words, thanks to relation with reality.

WATER as an element of life, creativity, expressions. Moreover, water as rights for all, nature, humans and animals in this world. The journey through the language of art as bridge to discover the humanity which acts and through which, we can realize a movement to, a dialogue with the other and protect water and start to act.

“Incolore, inodore, insapore, trasparente. Eppure è fonte di vita e di energia, di bellezza e di benessere, elemento necessario di sopravvivenza, ponte tra luoghi e persone. Le forme che assume, i colori di cui si tinge: campiture piatte, grana sottile, trama di tessuto, infinite sfumature, pennellate, movimento. Rispecchia immagini da prospettive diverse, le frantuma e le mischia. Filtra, riflette, modifica la nostra percezione delle cose e cambia essa stessa continuamente. Riflette e fa riflettere. Mantenendo la sua natura ma continuamente mutevole e sfuggente rispecchia il nostro mondo interiore: inafferrabile e in continuo movimento. È maestra di vita: non trattiene ma stempera e fluisce. “ Marcella Simonelli
