#Flood Control

Flood control is the ancient yet ever-rising ritual by which humanity attempts to tame nature’s water with both engineering pride and bureaucratic farce. Building embankments only to watch them washed away, digging canals that overflow in endless reprise, it resembles a grand rally among earth, water, and taxpayers’ wallets. Completion is met with fleeting headlines; collapse with an avalanche of blame. Experts convene under the guise of "risk reduction", while citizens pay for peace of mind with the small debt of regulations and upkeep fees. What flood control really delivers is an unceasing struggle and a mirror to our collective impotence.
