Water, Moon is part of CENOTE, a series of micro-residencies, an artist collective, and artist network taking place in the town of Falfurrias in South Texas. Water, Moon incorporates elements from Los Olmos creek and the shores of the Gulf of Mexico such as sand, clay and seaweed, alongside a bust of Don Pedro Jaramillo created in collaboration with Nadin Nassar. The project is site-specific and channels an ancestral connection to the land and the living flora and fauna of South Texas.
