silent end

Marijn de Vries hoogerwerff

This is a edited picture of my sister,who recently died of cancer. Besides the silence I feel now she's gone, this picture displays the silence that speaks from her face, the silence in her thoughts. A person in thoughts, displays silence to me. When I'm in thoughts the reality around me feel silent. My pain is silent, her pain was silent, cancer is silent, her death was silent...because of all the noise a thought makes.

This is my favorite of all, it's picked from the all exhibits because of its power of conveying message - It's not a photo, it's an amblem of silence, a clear metaphor... After reading description I stay silent.
