Before Silence
This painting is part of the "BEHIND" series, where emotions are expressed through the silent language of the body. Depicting figures from behind shifts focus to posture, muscle tension, and gesture—often more honest than words. The back, typically a symbol of vulnerability, here speaks of stillness and quiet strength. We see a man seated on a low wooden stool, his body gently slumped, head bowed. Faded tones of blue and white, a simple t-shirt, bare feet—these details create a sense of calm, pause, and emotional depth.
Created by an acclaimed industrial designer, the series reflects a pursuit of balance between form and meaning. He believes bodies can whisper and shout—both with equal clarity.
"Before Silence" captures a fleeting moment just before acceptance — an inner breath before letting go. It reminds us that the greatest shifts often happen quietly, when fragility becomes strength.
