Plant chilli then no rain!
Plant chilli then no rain! stacks larger-than-life chillies and onions onto glowing skewers, paying homage to a local belief believed to ward off rain. Playful yet familiar, the installation reimagines a humble folk practice at an urban scale. The warm, diffused light gently radiates from within, creating a cosy, inviting environment for gathering.
Audiences are invited to sit, linger, and share memories of superstitions that have been passed on through oral tradition, and continue to shape everyday life. These moments prompt reflection on people's relationship with nature, and the enduring human desire to influence forces beyond our control.
