Rijn is about the rivers flowing through the Netherlands that have for centuries shaped the geology of the country. The river Rhine runs through the Netherlands and flows over into five rivers: The ‘Waal’, ‘Nederrijn’, ‘Lek’, ‘IJssel’ and ‘Maas’. Flasks filled with water of these rivers each have a different composition of ingredients showing different kinds of water, yet all share in part the same source. With the water shaping the landscape and the landscape shaping the composition of the water.
