Ssssh...The Silence Speaks

2023, Mechelen, Belgium

Once in a while, everyone longs for silence, but in our current society everything seems to go faster and become louder. We have become so used to the rush that sudden silence can be overwhelming, because then then we start to hear the voices in our mind.

This participative art project brings an ode to silence. Together with visitors of the Tivoli parc in Mechelen we have made a mosaic from clay, inspired by stone cairns. This mosaic is now permanantly placed in the parc. People are invited to leave behind their worries by writing them down and leaving them inside of the stones.
