Science Week

Bringing research out of the laboratory, transforming the dry scientific discourse into an invitation to collective reflection on the health of the body and the planet, proposing an inclusive narrative where even the most distant from science and its methods felt welcomed… That was the challenge of the “Scientific Awakening” event, held every two years by the group of basic health sciences professors at Pontifical Javeriana University in Cali. Our challenge was precisely to capture the essence of this purpose in a single image.

In the presented image, the intention of the event is reflected, which in that edition sought to highlight the importance of water conservation and its intense relationship with all human activities. The island in the middle of a large body of water depicts a small human figure at its center, seeking sustenance amidst the abundance of the ocean, thus giving prominence to water in this graphic synthesis.
