The Biggest Body of Water
Interactive Installation
By the year 2031, the Netherlands will already be living in a critical water scarcity crisis for a year.
As (fictional) members of the Committee of Wellbeing within the official Water Councils, we propose a visionary
solution to repurpose unused bathrooms in people’s homes. Our concept centers around creating a serene environment,
inspired by the “blue mind” state, which is characterized by peacefulness, unity, and a sense of happiness in the present moment.
This concept, introduced by Wallace J. Nichols, recognizes the power of water to relax and calm our minds.
But what if water is so scarce, that people themselves end up being the biggest bodies of water in their home?
