ADDITIONAL COLLABORATORS

Alessia Pannese, water research

Brian Barney, cinematography

Christina Pitrelli, poet

"Whimsical." "Innocent." "Delightfully Awkward." These are words that folks use to describe the art of Christina Pitrelli. Christina is a comedienne, actress, and writer based in New York City. Accepting her call to adventure, she has devoted her life to making art and connecting with others in a spirit of imagination and play. She spends most of her time wandering in the mystery, listening for those magical whispers that guide her to new expressions and connections, and marveling over the large and small. She is grateful to Floanne Ankah and Piotr Mirowski for inspiring her through the WATER project NY to “dive into the well” and explore and share some of the many things she wonders about as she travels along.
