Silence comforts and envelops.
I've never really been one for talking. Words are misconstrued, words deny the truth.
Words can be a blunt tool for expressing what is felt and what resides within.
In The Joy of Loss, I deploy silent interviews.
Words are torn away from the subject, leaving traces of emotion dancing across the face...the eyes silently imploring understanding...the curvature of the mouth twisting in an effort to conceal and censor...the lines on the face holding experience and wordly knowledge...
Projected in the space, the silent interviews emote the struggles of coming to terms with loss. Stories without words...stories with great personal significance...stories of the joy of loss...
Some silent interviews can be seen here:
Silent interview - Elizabeth
Silent interview - David
Silent interview - Ray
