Dark Silence

---

The mixed media sculpture, Dark Silence belongs to the Silence Series, a series of artworks in various media created in 2010 and after.

DESCRIPTION

Part of the Silence series, Dark Silence represents the interior of the brain through collected soot. Thoughts, feelings, and emotions behave like smoke — always rising, always settling at the uppermost level that comes first in their way, layer after layer. If we touch the collected smoke, the volume disappears but it blackens the touched part — just as thoughts leave their traces on one’s Self and on others. The work addresses the dark side of silence: the negativity of obsessive thinking, normally generated in mundane silence, that creates layer after layer of impressions in the mind.
