**SILENCE AMONG THE WAVES** 20Γ20cm each, oil on cradle wood panel A quartet exploring what remains beneath restless motion. Four paintings. Four moments. One question: what does silence sound like when the sea never stops moving? --- **THE FIRST SURGE** The moment when the sea holds its breath, before everything begins to move. A tense silence, full of unspoken promises. The wave that hasn't risen yet β but will. **THE BROKEN CREST** The wave that breaks β free and fragile β revealing within its roar another kind of stillness. Even in chaos, there is something that doesn't move. Not absence β presence. **THE DISTANT SWELL** The swell you see from shore. Far enough that you can't hear it, but close enough to know it's coming. A line so thin it almost isn't there. Sometimes distance is the only way to hear silence clearly. **THE RESTING DEEP** Where everything settles. Where light sinks and reflects at once. The deepest silence β the one that holds everything we cannot see anymore, but know is there. Where everything is quiet, but nothing is still. --- Four moments. One breath from surface to depth. I started with a question: what does silence sound like when the sea never stops moving? This quartet is my answer. But it's not the only answer. Because this is the third movement of something larger β something I haven't fully shown you yet. Tomorrow, I'll tell you about the whole structure.
