The hydrography of the serpent
Ricardo Cabrera Zambrano
The audiovisual tour of the hydrographic basin that links the Atacazo volcano with the Pacific Ocean highlights the dynamic connection of water throughout the territory, evoking the snake as an ancestral symbol of flow and transformation. From the heights of Atacazo, the currents descend through the Machángara, San Pedro and Guayllabamba rivers, passing through the Manduriacu dam, until they reach the Esmeraldas River and flow into the Pacific. This transit reveals a narrative of interdependence between the mountain and the sea, where water, far from being a static resource, is an organism in constant dialogue with its environment. The work fuses satellite images with sensory records, seeking to convey the importance of preserving these ecosystems. Through rhythm and visual harmony, a meditation on the nature of water and its vital role in the ecology and the Andean cosmovision is established.
