The Silence and The Unknown
written by: Froya Montezino
You make me remember that courage is a frail state of mind, claiming something so precious that most take it for granted. Muttering jigsaw thoughts and quiet eyes. Stitched together and dissolved and put back together again. How silence contains too much to carry a complete lack of sound
“My guts drawn right back to that moment before I could never lose control again, it was beautiful back then. I need you to know. Because I like the sound of the word unknown and how you push it across your lips.”
Silence,
it whispers my name,
and it’s OK

It is a vital necessity of our existence," a sentiment that resonates with Montezino's artistic pursuits.
