The Water Series

THE WATER SERIES is a FREE immersive art installation that looks at the years following the death of artist Naomi Jaye’s mother from breast cancer, and at the interplay between water and grief. This evocative work is a nine-screen, twenty-speaker voyage that spans Harbourfront Centre Theatre.

The multi-disciplinary installation is divided into three parts. It starts with MRI, where the viewer is witness to a woman’s experience inside a magnetic resonance imaging machine for breast cancer screening. It continues with POOL, where they sit inside a community pool change room as women undress. The third, SAIL, acts as the connective tissue in the exhibit, a moment of reprieve — the viewer is bathed in calm waters.

The installation also has an interactive component where viewers can create an origami boat with a message inside about their experiences with grief.
