Published on the occasion of Charlotte Qin’s solo exhibition at Fondation Majid (2025–2026), this book gathers five years of artistic, spiritual, and emotional exploration. Structured around four chromatic states — black, blue, red, and gold — it reflects a journey where painting becomes devotion and water becomes both subject and guide. Blending visual works, essays, and dream fragments, the volume unfolds as a meditation on faith, creation, and the human condition through the language of water.
“Hydrophilia does not have a beginning nor will it end. It is an obsession from childhood, an intimacy as woman, finally a devotion of life — to safeguard and protect this resource. From the confluence of rivers to the heart of faith, I have followed water as one follows truth.”
