Marupok na Tubig (Fragile Water) is a reminder that water systems around the globe are failing to provide adequate access to safe, reliable, and affordable water. This work is a replica of a poso, or hand water pump, commonly used in rural areas where piped water connections do not exist. Light emits from the spout where one would normally catch water.
