Portland based Hilary Pfeifer made this art installation called Save Our Souls for The Recycled Rain Project, an annual art show that aims to raise awareness of water issues.
Hilary has previously used the motif of a walking stick in her work so when she was asked to take part in the project she immediately thought of rain sticks and leaned that the Aztecs used them as a ceremonial tool for bringing rain to their crops.
She also incorporated nine songbirds that were featured in the Audubon Society’s Birds and Climate Change Report, which made the claim that half of the US’s birds will be extinct by that year 2080 if action is not taken.
You can find out more about what Hilary is up to on her website.
