“This is water.” Taken from David Foster Wallace’s famous 2005 commencement speech at Kenyon College, this phrase is a simple, powerful reminder to stay aware of the world around us and choose how we see each day. This David Foster Wallace quote print sets the words in bold black lettering over a striking turquoise ocean background, with his name printed below.
It’s a thoughtful piece for deep thinkers, readers and anyone who wants a daily nudge to slow down, pay attention and live with intention. This This Is Water print feels calm yet bold, a perfect fit for anyone who loves literary art with real meaning behind it.
It makes a meaningful college graduation gift, a nod to the speech’s original audience of graduating students. It’s also a thoughtful gift for a philosophy or literature student, or an inspiring gift for a friend practicing mindfulness and finding more awareness in everyday life.
Perfect For
Graduates, David Foster Wallace fans, literature and philosophy students, readers and deep thinkers, anyone who loves ocean-inspired art.
