A reference to The Creation of Adam painted by Italian artist Michelangelo. This image highlights the necessity of water in life. Even so much as likening it to the hand of god from the reference painting. I wanted to represent the strength and influence water has over life itself. Too many do not have clean water, and much of the world tends to take that for granted. 

I believe water is life itself. Where without it, there would be no life as we know it here. And water's influence over us, where we are forced to consistently replenish ourselves with this elixir, has a profound effect on the way we live. This evocative image will provide you with the perfect piece to showcase your wet side!

***

Water moves us to replenish. It moves us to fight. It moves us to give life and live. And yet, there are so many places in this world that treat fresh water sources with disrespect.


In many countries, water has been given legal personhood. That means that in the eyes of the law, water has the same rights as any living person. These laws protect bodies of water from being harmed, being drained and stolen, and being owned.


The modern world has come to underestimate the privilege of having access to H2O. Twenty-nine percent of the world lacks clean sources of water. That is twenty-nine percent of people who lack the elixir of life that so many of us take for granted.
