Shared Silence

“Shared silence” is an evocative artwork that encapsulates the enduring connection between a father and his children, symbolized through a unified human ribcage and the subtle presence of two small birds within its embrace. Unlike a typical anatomical portrayal, the ribs here are not individually colored, instead, they share a harmonious hue that signifies the shared essence and continuity between the parent and his offspring. The two birds, a personal representation of the artist’s son and daughter, are a poignant addition that introduces a narrative of love, longing, and the invisible yet unbreakable bonds that persist through family changes and challenges. This piece serves as a tender reflection on the roles of protection, nurturing, and the bittersweet nature of parental love during separation.
