It’s Raining in my Living Room
installation/thought piece
Remember in cartoons when a character would become sad or depressed and a rain cloud would appear above them and follow them for the period of time they were feeling down? Well, a culmination of major change in my life had left a void needing to be filled. I began sticking silver tinsel to my ceiling, and a light drizzle became an all encompassing storm.
The cartoons never highlighted how healing it can be to stand in the rain and let it cleanse you- in other words, sitting with and acknowledging your pain in a real way is necessary to get through it. I think that would've helped us empathize with those characters, and ultimately ourselves a lot more. The clouds clear eventually from the light within.
