Water towers are part of our urban and rural landscape. So recognized that they almost disappear.

However their monumental purpose, life to a community, puts them far outside their practical commonality.

As you approach You’re Swimming In It you begin to notice that there is a lone duck, symbolic of innocence and childhood, swimming relentlessly around in circles, confined by the tower.

Innocence held captive by necessity.
