WHY WATER?
The fascination for the various forms and expressions of water has led Markus and Catarina to develop a personal relationship with this elixir of life. Their work is an exploration of the very essence of water and aims to call people’s attention to its aliveness – when one sees how water responds, remembers and transforms, one respects it as a living entity and understands its fundamental importance for life.

The Depth of Water photography collection specifically portraits the many expressions of water showing in every picture its distinctively different characters. Each photograph marks a moment in the continuous story of traveling water reminding us to cherish and protect water’s life and water places for the sake of Earth and all Beings. As Phillip Ball said in Life's Matrix: A Biography of Water: "like a person, water has immediate, evident, and familiar characteristics that can be understood only, if at all, by a consideration of its deeper makeup, of the hidden factors that shape its behaviour."
THE SPIRIT OF THE MOMENT
The photographs of water are captured in places of natural significance, like springs, rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans — uniting and celebrating all of these different locations and terrains. They show the chameleonic qualities of water that mirror its surroundings in light, colour, and vibration. Scientific studies point us to the fact that the electromagnetic fields of the location get imprinted into the photograph taken and thus are transmitted further. A camera can truly capture the spirit of the moment! These photographs besides capturing the boundless diversity and beauty of water, are also meant to impact positively our cognition and emotions.
“Water is universally both
the origin and the dissolver of realities”
EVENTS
Catarina and Markus’ passion for water took them to explore different fields of knowledge like science, health, culture, etc. in order to deepen their understanding of this primordial element of nature. Their extensive research and contact with water has culminated in the development of a series of seminars and events in which they share what they’ve learned and discovered.
“Water is life, both individually and globally. Our bodies, our planet — water makes up more than half of both and is crucial to our survival. It is such an essential part of life, yet we still struggle to honour it.”
