Access to water and territories
The distribution and access to drinking water will be a challenge in the coming years, it is estimated that by 2030, Mexico could enter a crisis of this vital resource if the trends are the same. The tension is more and more noticeable.
The Adenium Obesum is a xerophyte that does not need daily water and that flourishes in high temperatures. The homo Adenium Obesum is a speculative sound exercise of our interaction with this living being. This speculative exercise seeks to start several questions about how our body will have to adapt to these new conditions. Understanding our body as the main survival vehicle.

Adaptation & Dissatisfaction
One of the characteristics of the human being as a species is our ability to adapt and it is probably what allows us to survive on this planet. However, this adaptation often becomes capricious, due to another nuance: dissatisfaction.
The impulse we receive from these two, adaptation and satisfaction, are often the ones that generate new tools, technologies, infrastructure, rules and everything that allows us to achieve that "comfort"
Design as an accomplice
Design is an accomplice in this process to create all these artifacts mentioned, making much of the sources of resources we use for our comfort invisible in this process of comfort. Thus we end up assuming the availability of many resources.
One of them is the water that reaches our body, as food, clothing, housing and even technology. Drinking water as such is still a superstructure that, from its political regulation, distribution and all its processes, determines the viability of a community.
Access to water and territories
In Mexico there are more than 12 million people without access to drinking water, which represents approximately 10% of the population, and in Latin America there are more than 50 million, almost 9% of the population.
We cannot deny that there are actors whose water consumption is much higher. In the case of Mexico, it is distributed as follows, according to CONAGUA (2018):
Agriculture : 76%
Public supply : 14%
Self-supplied industry : 5%
Thermoelectric plants : 5%
