Aquarians, 22 bridges

Bridge type 2.

The 22 drops we dribbled on the map of the Watertuinen (Water Gardens) have completely soaked the steel and concrete in the bridges. The apparently stiff and hard materials are completely embraced by the surface tension and now they are wrenching and bending their teardrop form way from one bank to another quay. The bridge is at its widest in the middle, where the steelwork is at its highest and the shape at its fullest. This is the point from where the bridge is no longer a bridge. The point at which passing cars start feeling jealous of the water too.
