Note from the artist:

All this time, I believe that love is intrinsic to all things in life. Because of love, meaning and continuity is given to existence. Love can manifest itself in different ways; sometimes even wrongly expressed and misunderstood. However, if we affirm its presence, there is perhaps a reason to believe in the hope love offers.

My strongest impression of love is its limitless and omnipresent nature. As long as one is willing, accepting and gives into love, it will be everything. If one refuses, love will cease to exist.

After attending several funerals recently, I have realised that love transcends the flesh, even death. It has the ability to connect people, places and our surroundings, regardless of distance.

This is because true love is a feeling and an intangible force that holds people and things together, highly surpassing our mere physical selves.

Silences We Are Familiar With is a piece of work that I have created based on my past, present and ongoing understanding of love. I hope that you will be moved by my humble sincerity towards this idea.
