‘To a pure heart all hearts are pure.’ – Mahatma Gandhi
We cannot live without water not merely due to the fact that water is essential to life, but also the importance as a fundamental role in its own way within different cultures and religions, i.e. Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam etc. – Water is associated as unique way of purifying, healing and connecting in both of our physical and spiritual life.
NoWater celebrates this symbolic value by offering a spatial object for ritual – where ritual bathing water is used for religious purpose, naturally purified by stones, harvested from rainwater by existing aqueducts –
A place for ceremony,
besides,
a celebrating perspective of this beautiful element in our planet –
‘Purify the water, purify the soul.’
