Navigating Silence captures the quiet tension of lost direction in a world once governed by precision. An antique drafting compass, suspended mid-motion, becomes both a relic and a metaphor—its path constrained by cords, its purpose worn. Above, scattered gear fragments drift like constellations across a dark marbled field, while below, metallic textures and weathered surfaces speak of interrupted journeys. This composition evokes a mute, mechanical poetry—a navigation once possible, now uncertain.
