uc4: ebb&flow, week 1

Man is not an aquatic animal, but from the time we stand in youthful wonder beside a Spring brook till we sit in old age and watch the endless roll of the sea, we feel a strong kinship with the waters of this world.
—Hal Borland (1900–1978), Sundial of the Seasons, 1964

Theme: Chose a memory of water (beach, river, ocean, pool, scuba diving, surfing, sailing, so on) where you felt completely at peace. Keeping in mind you are building a time capsule for the future: design a panel that portrays your moment that also integrates with the other artists' panels.
