Where are you finding yourself now? Take a second to look around you. Go on, it’s free! What do you see? It is very likely that you are indoors, surrounded by walls, not nature, much like the busy writer of this blog. Recently, I discovered how much I am disconnected from nature. I want to find back this connection. As much as I deem that important, it is necessary too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As humans have become increasingly busy, we have lost much of our connection to nature. We even lost sight of crucial components of our existence. In particular, one that is always close to us, in our bodies even. You guessed it, it’s water! Research shows that looking at large amounts of water can make you calmer. This would be a great getaway from our busy lives, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An amazing example of reconnecting to nature and water is “current mood” by Yujin Joung. This interactive design shows wave data from Scheveningen to the viewer. It is connected to a real-time report of the water’s height. By looking at this visualisation of our life liquid, we get connected back to our nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
