This artistic process included the study of tributaries, generating a photo and video archive that allowed us to explore the watershed from multiple perspectives. Through diverse plans and digital editing, the project advanced towards a pictorial and sound abstraction. Satellite tools and symbolic references, such as the snake in the Andean cosmovision, were used to represent the river. Reflecting on water in everyday life, questions arose about its consumption and control, inspired by the poem El río de la ciudad natal by Carrera Andrade. The sensorial guided the exploration, registering elements such as a leak and analyzing the natural rhythm of water. The illusion of water control was approached from an unbiased perspective, seeking to understand its flow. As part of the process, water samples were taken at the Guápulo bridge, reinforcing the connection between the tangible reality and the artistic perception of the river.
