The term “The Gaze of the Water" is purely poetic here. It refers to the concept of the observer effect. The observer effect is a disturbance or alteration of an observed system caused by the act of observation itself. The idea is taken from quantum mechanics, where measuring or observing a particle can affect its behavior or properties. The behavior of matter changes depending on whether they are observed or not. When unobserved, matter particles exhibit water-like behavior and can interfere with each other. However, particles behave individually when observed and do not exhibit interference patterns. I believe that the observer effect is not limited to physics and can also be observed in art and social science. The presence of an observer influences the behavior or responses of the subjects being observed, leading to potential biases or altered outcomes.
