About Water Wervels
The spine is the first structure that forms in the womb and remains the center of our anatomy for the rest of our lives. The vertebral column facilitates our vital movement and connects body and mind through the main nerve pathway to the brain. Approximately 3.7 billion years ago, the first life on Earth emerged in the ocean. To this day, billions of years later, we all still depend on the place where it all began, as about 70% of the oxygen in the air is produced by life in the blue waters.
“Water Wervels” is about the importance of our oceans, the backbone of life on Earth, the fundamental system of all natural forms that are at risk of falling apart due to climate change, pollution, and overfishing.
