đ&#x;’Ś đ&#x;’Ś đ&#x;’Ś Â WATER CHALLENGE!!!đ&#x;’Ś đ&#x;’Ś đ&#x;’Ś

Water...the fourth element. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was trackless waste and void, there was darkness over the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.â€? Water was already there, the fourth of the basic elements‌along with earth, wind and fire. About 70 % of the surface of the earth is covered by water: fresh, salty, liquid or solid. Could we even imagine our existence on this planet of ours without water? Water that refreshes and nourishes us, water that joins us, water that separates us, water that provokes wars, water that kills, water that destroys, water that purifies, water that inspires poets, musicians, and artists‌ What can water inspire in you?... Can you summon it at will, or must you sacrifice dearly to obtain it?

Few themes are as vast and suggestive for the storyteller in each of us. We challenge you over the next two weeks, from Monday, August 19th until Monday, September 2nd, to allow the water that comprises 60 % of your body to overflow beyond your senses. You will surprise yourself, and us as well, with what you are capable of creating. “Water, I beg of you. For this sleepy junction of numerous words I speak to you... Do not fail on my lips in my last moment.â€? (The Fourth Element - by J.L. Borges Fragment) We offer these images in the hope you find them inspirational... And don´t forget, post your images with the hashtag #water Pacho Coulchinsky

EVERYWHERE WATER ‘Clear, fresh and sweet waters’ (Francesco Petrarca). For lovers and the fragile ABOUT US The gray sky promises rain, a sad day. Yet rain is also a rebirth in both novels and films (Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai) INSIDE The body, seventy percent water and liquids AROUND We are born of water. Nauseated by Hollywood, the writer Romain Gary left for Asia to talk on the shore with his 'brother' Indian Ocean. Eugenio Montale questions the Mediterranean with some dizzying lyrics. Melville, Stevenson, Maupassant, Gauguin, London, Maugham sail the seas of restlessness 'Here lies one MYSTERIOUS WATER whose name was written on the water' (John Keats)
