Biosphere We Are Water is a publication by Ecosistemas, writed by Juan Pablo Orrego.
This publication is the invitation to look back at waters, the matrix of the living, with eyes, mind, and heart refreshed. With a child’s innocence.
To reenchant ourselves with what we are: this water organized in a fantastic human form, which walks, talks, and sings; acts, opts, and can incline the balance between the biosphere’s synergy and entropy, something by itself surprising. To rediscover that we live immersed in the magic and mystery of incomprehensibly complex and marvelous natural phenomena. It is so much what we do not know and do not understand. Good! Thus, the exploration and discovery are infinite… Silently beats our heart in our chest, pumping this rich red water in such an efficient manner that it reaches down to the last cell of our fingers and hair, without any conscious effort on our part… Sometimes, overwhelmed, we cry water, salty as the oceans, cradle of life.
