Inherited Silence

Inherited Silence portrays the unspoken connection between generations — how emotion, fear, and tenderness pass through presence rather than words. Two figures mirror each other across a soft divide, one glowing in warmth, the other fading into shadow. Their gestures suggest communication interrupted, love reaching yet restrained. Surrounding organic forms evoke memory’s overgrowth — nature reclaiming what time has muted. The palette moves from light to obscurity, reflecting how emotional inheritance often hides beneath affection. The work captures the fragile beauty of restraint — where silence itself becomes a language of survival, continuity, and quiet ache.
