The Sound of Rain by Sarita Zaleha
$800.00
The Sound of Rain explores the experience of new environments via weather patterns in dreams. After moving to Los Angeles from Minneapolis in the summer of 2018 I began having dreams of rain. In Los Angeles there are no summer thunderstorms like there are in Minneapolis, so I found myself experiencing these storms in my dreams, only to realize I was actually hearing the somewhat common sounds of my new environment, police helicopters.
