“As the wearer moves in Downpour, Outpour, the dangling strands of beads produce a tinkling sound against the inner walls of the copper spouts, mimicking the sound of gentle rain falling through and onto foliage. In this instance, rain and spiritual energy are one, spilling out from leaves as pouring rain. Sensorial curiosity is invoked by mysticism; I am compelled to listen purposefully, to look closer and deeper into dark unknown spaces for the abundance of energy. I am one with the hollow curvature of a leaf, cradling the raindrops on their musical descent. ”
