Caño Amarillo,
Caracas Venezuela.
Clay, rope and water combine to give a message about time and passage.
A totuma vase and a bucket were the receptacle of the vital content.
Representing this way the sacred and the profane in ordinary coexistence.
From the source to the reserve, the necessary fluids for our passage circulate.

Water Offering
consisted on filling a container of water with the help of a vase on the drinking fontaine. Then carrying on this container trough the spaces of the University, while chants were improvised.
After the bucket was filled, it had to be dragged to the sculpture faculty, some 300m away, crossing "Los Jabillos" street.

On the way, the container was being emptied for the action of serving the water over my body with the same vase, in a continuous song.
The conclusion of this action was to reach the established goal with enough vital liquid to develop a dialogue with the water throughout the journey.
