Presenting: ''These bodies of water " at the GRAM festival in Percé, Québec.

''These bodies of water " is an activity in which the public is invited to make a sound journey and reflect on the water that circulates in our bodies and in the landscape.

We presented this work to popularize certain concepts of Nei Jing and to help people discover the links that unite us with nature.

It was presented at the SBC gallery, the Musée d'art de Joliette and, more recently, as part of Les Perceides in Gaspésie.

CBC did a nice covering of the event:
