What:
See-through plastic bags filled with water and closed with a knot. These bags are then tied with fishing line to a branch, like a mobile.
Ritual:
After having these mobile water drops hanging in my garden for a while I started to pinch a small hole into the bottom of one of the drops every day. Then I watched with gratitude how the water slowly poured out in small drops over some time.
Why:
To create rain, I guess it is helpful to remind nature of its watery and wet side. The plastic bags formed visual drops and on top of that were filled with water. Combined they looked like rain.
Once the installation was hanging for a while, I increased the sense of rain and water by releasing the water from the plastic bags in a ritual activity.
Outcome:
It started raining even before all drops were emptied and there were still more rains coming afterwards.
