Highlighting global inequities in the distribution and use of scarce resources like freshwater, Aqua Atlas comprises small paintings
that visualise humanity’s water footprint across nations. The work examines the consumption of green water (rainwater stored in soil),
blue water (groundwater and surface water), and grey water (polluted water from goods and services production), offering a striking
commentary on how these resources are exploited. Each panel, presented in a modernist square-within-a-square format, documents
the volume of fresh water consumed per capita per day, with square sizes rescaled to reflect each.
