My water is not pure, but that is exactly what makes it meaningful   is a conversational game, where Water becomes a Mediator of the conversation, rather than a reason for conflicts and wars. Participants take turns layering different shapes — “perspectives on Water”, making the overall idea of water deeper, more diverse, inclusive, and meaningful, explaining their opinion and listening to the possible opposite view. There is no bad or good take, as every perspective (even the one that historically or culturally has a negative connotation) let us come closer to what Water actually signifies to us as humanity.
