we live with water
circa 2022
The Rain Watcher Project, is a family centered campaign dedicated to informing the public on our human relationship with water. The project embraces the idea that we all come from water, we all live in water and we all go with water– that water contains our histories, our relationships, our emotions and it grounds us.
