COMPETITION PROGRAMME 5: Weight of Silence

COMPETITION PROGRAMME 5

Weight of Silence

How do we tell someone we will miss them? How do we learn to appreciate our bodies as they change? Why can’t we stop fearing connection? Abandon yourself to the sea of the unspoken, and learn to appreciate all the silent moments— because sometimes, more is said in the quiet than in words.
