When Silence Shatters

“When Silence Shatters” 16″x20″ oil on canvas

Emotions, like pressure beneath the surface, can only be contained for so long. When Silence Shatters captures the moment of release—the explosion of energy after a long-held stillness. Soft whites and muted pastels create an illusion of calm, but streaks of gold and bold strokes of green reveal the chaos within. The painting mirrors the way emotions build quietly, unseen, until they burst forth in an unstoppable wave. It is both destruction and creation, a raw expression of what happens when we can no longer hold it all inside.
