The water vein
Ions, hormones, sugars, proteins circulate in the veins of our rivers.
Fly fishermen talk about veins of water when they describe the currents of our rivers. The water vein carries many ions, hormones, complex molecules, sugars just like our blood. It boosts the food chains of the watercourse, it carries intra or interspecific information from upstream to downstream. In short, it’s the Internet underwater with very fast means of communication. When hatching of aquatic insects occurs in a launa, the proteins emitted by the nymphs, exuviae and emerging insects are transported downstream by the water vein. Fish sense these molecules. Informed of the imminent production of food, they position themselves on their hunting posts before the arrival of insect drifts.
The water vein is also a liquid sculpture. The voluptuousness of its movements follows the depths, bounces against the banks, resurfaces from the depths, accelerates in the rapids, relaxes in the long channels. The vein of water marks the profile of the river. Frozen on the pixels, she stops time and stares at the movement of life. It becomes water paint.
