الماء سر الوجود

"الماء...هذا الكنز الثمين والعنصر ألاساسي فى الكون ومصدر الحياة الرئيسي. 
يصور هذا العمل برمزيته شكل انسان منتصبا في الطبيعة فاتحا يديه يتلو صلاته شاكرا على نعمة الحياة وانزيم العمر. فلطالما كان الماء عنصرًا مقدسًا في الفنون والأساطير وما يزال حتى عصرنا هذا. ​
يقول محمود درويش : صوت الماء مرايا لعروق الارض الحية صوت الماء هو الحرية صوت الماء هو الأنسانية"
