The Line of Water explores memory as a shifting, fluid entity, where trauma is not just a wound but a catalyst for transformation. Through a poetic and metaphysical reflection on transience and loss, the project examines how the territory — both physical and emotional — absorbs, reshapes, and transmits traces of the past, generating new languages of remembrance and creation. Inspired by the Polesine flood of 1951 — the most devastating in Italian history — the project considers the territory as an archive of memory, where water, earth, and inherited stories act as living agents of transmission.
