WORKSHOP

Espai germanetes x Sembra d’aigua x Escola diputacio x Vivari Pau x Marco senza studio x Elisava. Maxi and me we were invite to give an hand during the construction of the phitodepuration structure, a structure to collect rain water and filtered with the phitodepurattion approach.

Honestly was an amazing experience that help me with my final project and we create network.

DAY 10 — 17/05/2025
4:20 p.m.
The past two days I didn’t work directly on my artifact.
But I did something maybe even more important: I started building the network for what I hope will become my professional life (calling it that just to be clear).

Thanks to the Espai Germanetes community, I joined a team of Elisava students and architects to build a structure that collects rainwater and, through phytodepuration, reuses it to water the plants. That structure is now part of the Escola Diputació.

What blew my mind?
Seeing how deeply involved and critical the kids were. They were so into it — asking questions, making suggestions, learning with their hands.
There’s still hope, honestly — for a better, more grounded, local future.

I learned a lot, and next week will be a big turning point for my artifact.
And if you’re reading this, it means I made it.
VAMOOOOSSSS!!!

Things I understand better now:

How phytodepuration actually works

How filtered water systems function

How I can hack my own sink

How we can empower citizens through small-scale, local interventions

So here’s the core of my idea:
→ Create tools — a dissident citizen's artifacts — that lets you collect and filter water, wherever and whenever you want.

The artifacts are a trolley, designed to carry your water collector anywhere.
And it offers layered material filter, using physical layers (sand, charcoal, fabric, etc.), you can purify sink or communal fountain water — and drink it, free from chlorine and corporate dependency.

This isn’t just a filter.
It’s a symbol of resistance and awareness.
