An intimate and moving piece, I was Naked, Smelling of Rain explores the impact of the external physical and social weather on our internal psycho-emotional weather.

Examining the impact of the external and social weather on our psycho-emotional weather, I was Naked, Smelling of Rain asks are we ever truly where we are and present?
