SevaN

The high waters of Lake SevaN populate Armenia in one of the most important strategic areas in history. Around them battles, governments, borders and time have disputed every territorial meter of its extensive beauty. In the cradle of Christianity the atmosphere shines on the paths that surround its crystalline thickness. The Water that sustains the identity of the entire region places on its legends the important traffic routes that time gave you.
Covered in the water of a nation without a sea, its effects condition the entire geography and light, inciting the latent behavior of those who live alongside it on the premise of the loss of the entire fragmented Armenian territory for centuries.
The project born from the pastoral tales of Christianity is the story of light. Teach the unknown geography that is a bridge and at the same time border photographing the roads and trails that surround the region.
