In “Water Portraits” I ask people to reuse one liter of freshwater one after another until it’s gone. After each usage, I freeze the water and take its portrait. Each portrait gets the name of the person who used it, and there is a recipe for how the water was reused. After a chain is over because there is no water left, I start a new one. 

The project will end when 101 ways of reusing water will be found. In May 2023 when I make an update of this website, we are at 53. 

Water Portraits reflect on how our actions affect others, on care, and the passage of time.
