NWO project investigated the reuse of residual water for agricultural purposes. Corn crops were irrigated with wastewater, while the level of contamination of water and the movement of water in the soil were studied. Anna made paper out of corn leaves, and used photosensitive liquids to show the movement of water over time.

The project is centred on soil purification, subsurface water, groundwater levels, and water regulations. Egmond is Mayte’s hometown, so she focused on its community and the current floods in the dune lands. Mayte used the stagnated water emulsion lifts to print images of Egmond communal activities, collected from the National Archive, on recycled plexiglas.

Kaumera is a biopolymer recycled from wastewater. Inspired by research into its fire retardant properties, with support from researchers at TU Delft and KABK workshops, Nesie printed Kaumera on steel and ceramics, then processed the prints under flame.
