The Memories Issue
A basic element for life, it is said that water holds within it another peculiar trait: memory.
It takes up around 60% of our adult body and also contains all our experiences, memories, emotions, like a living being within another living being. It hydrates and purifies, while keeping the story of each one of us close to our skin, in sparkling droplets that escape through the pores of our complexion. If we froze every drop and looked inside with a microscope, would we be able to see our past, like a kind of crystal ball working in reverse?
Originally published in The Memories Issue, from April 2024. Full stories and credits are in the print version.
