This series takes place in the Ring of Cenotes in Mexico where the ancient Mayans believed the underground rivers were a gateway to another world. Today, tourists gather to momentarily escape gravity, to swim, dive and explore. When all around us is full of immobile and solid substances, water is uniquely fluid and pliable; it allows our imagination to flow. Fifty years after the moon landings we continue to dream of space travel and building colonies on Mars.
