Message in a Bottle

This is an invitation to write a love letter to water.

The deadline has passed for messages to be included physically in the bottles that make up the architecture of the floating archway, however, your submission will be part of an ongoing collection of messages creating awareness about water insecurity for Indigenous communities around the world.

THE MESSAGE

Your love letter can either be in written form, a photograph, audio/video, or artwork you’ve made describing you relationship to water. Water as an essential source of life, water as a symbolic element, water as a human right - water as a reflection of the cycle of life. 

This is the message that initially inspired Upcycle:

Water governs us: if we are listening, we can hear the teachings.
