Rainwater champions the primal replenishing source of energy of the Anacostia River. Towering Sumac saplings add shelter and structure that penetrate the architectural atrium of the gallery space, paying homage to the Nacotchtanke people who were famed traders along the banks of the of the ancient Anacostia. Rhythms of water and translucent colors cascade in layers anchored by medicine bags of tears and rain in Anacostia.
