Created by artist Didzis Jaunzems the environment object “Water” is built as a symbolic circle. Its surface consists of 2,625 droplets of metal that wobble in the wind, creating a sense of water noise. Each drop swings on its own, but as a result of merging into a single stream reflects the true greatness of the forces of nature and symbolizes unity.

The art object “Water” is the result of cooperation between local authorities of Rugāji, Balvi, Viļaka, Baltinava and Kārsava, in the framework of the project “Loba doba Zīmeļlatgolā jeb atklāj dabas pētnieku sevī!” (“Good nature of Northern Latgale or discover the researcher of nature in yourself!”). The message, which reveals the five objects of the environment of North Latgale to its visitors, aims to ensure that people pay attention to the nature that is around, listen and respect it. Realized that the person is not the only natural inhabitant of the earth, and a lot of what should be looked after and protected is around us.
