Silent Rise, 2012
Sculpture
In true listening, a process of emptying our thoughts and ego to let in words, the presence of the other is felt deeply.
With this sculpture, the artist explores the notion of silence in relation to spiritual development. Silent Rise invites the audience to experience the act of listening from a new point of view: seeing sound, listening to images. The rungs in the sculpture refer to musical staves. The ensemble of staves amplifies the crescendo effects of this allegorical sculpture.
