Does water have memory?

I'm not the only researcher, or artist, working with water. Here are a couple of lines of inquiry that inspire me.

With a dark field microscope, a team led by Bernd Kröplin, took photographs of water drops from different water bodies (lake, tap, glacier). They noticed water shares distinct information about itself, which they called "faces" of water. Also, by placing different flowers in water: the water drops seem to take on the image of the flower. 💙

Photographer, Rose-Lynn Fisher, turned her camera to her tears: each one looked completely different, depending on her mood (compassion, elation, etc). Fisher sees tears as evidence of, & a way of learning about, inner emotional life.

I see my art as also illuminating the rich inner realities of water bodies.💙
