Sea level is rising and it could look like if the more it rises, the less we know about it. Even if there are thousands of publications, posts and news related to it we are far away to realize this is really happening.
Like water rising from the shorelines and the humidity that climbs through the walls, the water contained in a simple plastic container is going to stained and erased the pages filled with information like the oblivion in an old mind erases the memories from far away, forcing us to think about how everything is happening around while us are not seeing it.
