You should describe it in a different way, what is so fascinating about it, and I think it might be the combination of several things of the same nature but with different names: rain, water, bowl, vessel, vase. The verbs of combination: wash, eat, bear, receive. Then there are descriptions of the state of these things: wet, drenched, soggy, sunny, dry. And the external environment: rainy day, sunny day. Then there are the actions of people under these environmental conditions: washing, drying, washing dishes, hanging out to dry. It's such an ordinary daily activity that even though I don't do it very often, I call it "inventing a household chore" in the brief description of the work, which is an amalgamation of drying clothes and washing dishes. What I was really thinking about when I made it was the connection between these words, like relearning how to form a chopstick rack, like a diamond shaped playing card with an 8 in the middle.
