In the course of history, all cultures have agreed on one thing: they recognize water as a symbol of life, a bond between living beings and the environment. This relationship as well as the eternal cycle of renewal that is only possible in our planet, is a magical element as fragile. The human being has been in need to create deities to which to thank their own existence derived from water. Each culture, regardless of the era in which it treads or stepped on the Earth, creates a representation of the life to which to adore and to thank, to which it is recurrently attributed to a feminine figure. Isis, the deity of magic and life in the ancient Egypt, manifests the mother as a symbol of life, nature, fertility, care and love. This same deity was reinterpreted in ancient Greece as Aphrodite later as the Virgin Mary in Roman Catholicism. This work recognizes the closeness of the emergence of life with women and their relationship with nature, water, life and the human being: a woman takes a bath while the field around her is infinitely green. To the conception and the bond that humanity has with nature, that although the changes in our society, remains in effect involuntary. Every form of life is born, grows and lives of the water.
