APPRECIATE + ANALYZE

“Water is the planet’s universal solvent: its extraordinary capacity to saturate, dissolve, and mingle with other molecules to catalyze essential chemical reactions makes it Earth’s most potent agent of change.”
— Steven Solomon, Water: The Epic Struggle for Wealth, Power, and Civilization

[A+A] consists of comparative river basin-based taxonomies and documentations via various forms of photography and video. [A+A] describes issues of living with (or without) water, primarily within the Mekong, Mississippi and Rhine river basins. The themes compared among these three river basins serve to inform additional analyses of other global river basins.
