This work is based on an interview the artist conducted during a stay in the Amazon with Ananias Correia dos Santos―advisor to the Amazonas State Tourist Guide Association and director of Ipdeam (Institute for the Development of the Amazonian Ethnic Environment). In the interview, he spoke about the vital importance of water not only to human life but also to human society, all living beings, and the Earth itself. He also explained that the Amazon is home to rich knowledge, rituals, and festivals related to water, and that from an Indigenous perspective, even phenomena such as climate change are seen as part of Earth’s natural cycle.
From his words, Kamimura extracted especially resonant passages and translated them into Morse code. These messages―intended for someone far away―are further transformed into patterns of color and light, as a method of conveying atmospheres and sensations that transcend the limits of verbal language.

[Portuguese original text for the morse code]
ASSIM COMO A AGUA TEM SEU CICLO ASSIM MESMO ACONTECE COM O SER HUMANO
SOMOS INFINITOS EM NOSSO CICLO, SIMILAR A A`GUA UM CICLO CONTINUO APOS A MORTE AQUI EM TERRA SAGRADA

[In English]
As water possesses its own cycle, so too do human beings. We are infinite within our own cycle, a continuous flow like water, which carries on even after death on this sacred earth.
