And when it rains, it pours (2021)
A human-nature relations inspired watercolor painting by Vanessa Luangaphay was featured in Climates of Resistance’s community showcase online exhibit and in their virtual gallery (Dec 2021)
This painting represents the distress and upset of water as if it were a living being. Every day, plastic, chemicals and other forms of harmful waste are being dumped into bodies of water all around the world. Water is a provider, a home, and covers roughly 75% of the surface of Planet Earth, thus taking up the majority of the frame within this piece of art. The eyes seen in the work personify the water, provoking empathy in the viewer by providing a relatable perspective. “And When it Rains, it Pours” represents both the emotive state of the human body (sadness through expelling tears) and the body of water’s response to the ongoing climate change crisis (extreme weather). The artist chose to use watercolor in order to symbolize the intertwinement of art, nature and life.
