Sun, Rain, Wind: an immersive experience in Nature

Lions Park Artist Residency
​May to October, 2020​

In these unprecedented times, there is a calming effect in nature. The beauty in a ray of sunshine, a gentle breeze or the rhythmic sound of the rain, these are the things that grounds us. Inspired by the setting of Lions Park and the community of Port Coquitlam, the artist residency seeks to create an immersive installation through individual stories of sun, rain and wind, collected together to form a united experience.
