Water/Power is a multi-chapter documentary and installation project developed during a residency at Arizona State University's Water Institute. It currently comprises two films — Delta/Desal: A Border Ecology and Speculative Grounds— and an artist research book.
The project traces how water moves through landscapes, infrastructures, legal systems, and imaginaries in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands and beyond, following the entangled futures of rivers, wetlands, and the fantasies of desalination that connect the Sonoran Desert to the WANA (West Asia and North Africa) region.
Developed through research, fieldwork, and listening practices, Water/Power investigates how artistic practice can deepen public engagement with water infrastructure, ecology, and environmental justice.
