Description

Part of the Socially Responsive Works — Sung largely in the Western Abenaki language, Windshear is an exploration of the violent destruction of the climate through the phenomenon of wind shear. This piece is largely inspired by the work being done to preserve Native American languages and the non-violent resistance of the Standing Rock communities in defense of natural resources.

The world of Windshear is one in which humans are at peace with their surroundings. Things most of us think of as inanimate, insensible objects or phenomena, are invested in with feelings, spirit, and intention. There is a perception of a life force flowing through everything and everyone.
