WATER IS LIFE: Asheville School 11th-grader Claire Hill created this artwork, explaining in an artist’s statement: “In 2016, The Standing Rock Sioux tribe and many people from around the country came together to protest the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. … Protesters adopted the slogan ‘min wiconi,’ which means ‘water is life.’ This message stuck with me for I … am a human who depends on clean water. …. My relationship with water taught me to revere and respect water as it is essential to all aspects of life and must be protected. I created my artwork …to bring attention to the basic human need for water and to our shared responsibility to protect our precious water and, in turn, to protect life.”
