In The Quiet

In Samah’s words.

Three women stand together, their faces turned away.

The background is full of color, and long lines fall around them. Yet despite everything happening in the painting, the women seem to exist in their own private worlds.

I find that contrast interesting.

We can be surrounded by people and activity while still being completely absorbed in our own thoughts.

Sometimes silence isn't about what's happening around us.

It's about what's happening within.
