Following irrigation channels
Following the irrigation channels upstream led to a hidden arrangement of valves and reservoirs. Water wasn’t a natural occurrence here, but arrived directed—some terraces flourished while neighboring plots remained dry despite equal exposure. The clay underfoot split with the heat, revealing faint lines within the earth like sediment layers; an uneven distribution that suggested deliberate choices at play. This allocation did not align with simple need or circumstance, prompting questions about the unseen hand guiding the flow and its underlying logic.
