David Wicks is an artist featured on the website Sans Umbrella to showcase his latest work titled “Drawing Water.” The project is essentially a creative visualization to illustrate the relationship of where water is falling and real data about where it is being consumed in the United States. The created animation is very beautiful. I appreciate how organic it’s movement feels especially because it was created by something far removed from nature. The idea behind Wick’s work points to how crucial a resource like water is to all of us as we use it everyday. By forcing someone to think about where his or her water came from it makes us as consumers more conscious that we are apart of a larger system. Opposed to having a view that your water is always ready to go for you when you turn on your sink.
