Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.
– Jean Arp
Perhaps Arp was right. This new piece, The Silent Eye, reminds me of this quote and how we have filled the world with noise and have lost the ability to bear the silence, to just be in the moment without the need to fill it with the din of our existence. Will we even know what we have lost when there is no more silence?
