This piece traces the journey of water from its origins in the mountains of El Yunque to its silent arrival in our homes. Along this path-streams, rivers, springs, and pipes- Dhara Rivera reveals a vital system that, though essential, often remains hidden in everyday life. This 'invisible river" flowing into our bodies, bridges the natural and the domestic, prompting reflection on the fragility of water resources.
The installation is composed of an iron framework outlining the silhouette of a house, a symbol of shelter and infrastructure, from which hang ceramic pieces molded over calabash (Crescentia cujete) , a fruit traditionally used for collecting water. These forms are linked by copper pipes evoking the fluvial networks of El Yunque's watershed, some of which culminate in household faucets.
Meanwhile, a reflective acrylic mirror on the floor captures the fragility of both the environment and the hydrological cycle.
