Water is seen as transformative and healing, as well as a tangible resource that needs to be protected. The title Waterfall conveys both the idea of abundant water AND water at risk.” The project has several components: an open call to artists to donate photos of water, a film “tracing the geographical and environmental changes [from the] the so-called Entrance to Eden in the relatively water sufficient north to the Dead Sea in the arid south,” an installation, including representations of waterfalls, and an interactive component. “A portion of the project’s proceeds, the artists write, “will be donated to WaterAid, an international nongovernmental organization. WaterAid’s mission is to overcome poverty by enabling the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. Founded in 1981, the charity currently works in rural and urban areas in seventeen countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific Region through its fundraising and policy offices in London, New York and Melbourne.” www.wateraid.org/usa/default.asp
