OBJECT Nº 01

THE SILENCE OF MOURNING

THE SILENCE OF MOURNING

The quiet presence of everything that cannot be brought back.

There are things that leave without ever truly leaving.

A person.
An animal.
A home.
A season of life.


Sometimes, even the person we once were.

Those who carry such losses are said to become quieter with time.

Not because they have forgotten.

Because some memories become too precious to speak of.

The mourners wear no signs.

Their grief settles beneath the skin, beneath the clothes, beneath the face.

And when the tears are gone, it remains.

Silent.

THE WEAVER OF QUIET

THE WEAVER OF QUIET

The one who mends what noise has torn apart.

Silence is not the absence of sound.

It is a fragile fabric.

Invisible, yet capable of fraying.

When a place has forgotten how to be still, The Weaver is said to arrive before dawn.

He kneels.

Drawing unseen threads through abandoned houses, forgotten forests, and empty halls.

as if silence had been carefully stitched back into the world.
