This Project began with a reflection about the place of water in Fine Arts School in Madrid and its connection with the people.

It’s well known that water comes out from the different access points around the Fine Arts School but, apart from that, nobody knows anything else. Water is practically invisible.

Dicen que había un río con peces,
con niños bañándose en verano
y lavanderas el resto del año.
Ahora,
sólo hay las lágrimas de los recuerdos
en un cauce estéril y reseco;
