Waters Run Deep

Waters Run Deep showcases the work of emerging curator Rogelio Cruz, whose vision is to capture the importance of prioritizing and celebrating our personal connections to the element of water. Life began in the ancient oceans, and it is in the waters that Rogelio believes we can reflect on the sacredness of our own existence. 

Sixty percent of the human body is made up of water and seventy one percent of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. Water, in every shape and form, is a building block for life on Earth and its importance has been recognized by many, both in the physical by sustaining life, but also in the spiritual. Water is critical in many religious and spiritual practices around the world. This manifests as deities dedicated to bodies of water and rain, cleansing rituals, and the recognition of the integral connection of water and life.

The artists included in Waters Run Deep explore their own personal, cultural, and metaphysical connections to water. Featuring: Maëlis Bekkouche, Alexis C. Garcia, Lindsay Gauthier with Fog Beast, Tiare Ribeaux, Ana Paula Teixeira, and Jessica Tully.

The exhibition has been designed and installed by students completing SF State's Art Handler Program. Free and open to the public.
