Water / Subhash Vyam with Gita Wolf. - 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 25 cm. - Art/environment .
"English text from the Hindi oral narrative by Subhash Vyam: Gita Wolf"--Colophon.
"Did we take more than our due?" Weaving his tale around a Gond fable about water, artist Subash Vyam muses on the history of our relationship to this most primeval of elements. A migrant to the city, he recalls growing up in a village where water was always scarce and human ingenuity was welcomed. In contrast to the village, the needs of the city are monstrous and there is a great danger that we will run this resource completely dry. In the end, there is only one way forward: all communities need to make a pact with Nature in order to survive -- or in our mindless push to harness her powers, we might lose our own place in this universe.
