Bachelor Diploma, Lost Rivers 2025Lost Rivers examines the fate of once-vital waterways that served as lifelines for human civilisation but were buried beneath asphalt due to industrialisation and urban expansion.
My diploma project combines a short film with an accompanying booklet to examine the ecological, cultural, and social consequences of river displacement, as well as the potential of renaturation.In the film, a single water droplet follows a journey from a pristine source through urban decay to its re-emergence through deliberate re-naturalisation efforts.
