RainMaker serves as a reflection on our inherent desire to influence nature, referencing age-old practices like rain dances that embodied a closer connection to the elements. It invites contemplation on our contemporary disconnection from the natural world and prompts consideration of the wisdom embedded within traditional approaches that fostered a harmonious coexistence with nature.
By juxtaposing the stillness of the turbulent landscape and impending storm with the rhythmic movement of the figure, I aim to evoke a sense of awe and invite introspection about our ongoing struggle to find equilibrium and harmony with nature. Using stop motion animation allows me to add a dynamic quality and emphasize the transformative power of movement. Rainmaker invites not only appreciation of nature in an increasingly digital age but also the importance of reconnecting with the wisdom of ancient practices and acknowledging our place within the intricate tapestry of the natural world.
