Silent Strength
18 x 38 x 31cm
Plaster and galvanized steel
"Silent Strength" is a sculpture constructed from plaster and galvanized steel mesh, embodying the journey of accepting Aphantasia and embracing the transformative power it can bring. This artwork symbolises the transition from feeling "broken" to discovering inherent strength within this unique condition.
The juxtaposition of the plaster’s vulnerability with the strength of the steel captures the essence of determination needed to address the challenges of Aphantasia. Dual themes are represented portraying fragility and resilience, illustrating how limitations can lead to discoveries and personal growth.
By reflecting on the quiet, unspoken power of overcoming internal struggles, "Silent Strength" invites viewers to contemplate their own journey of acceptance and resilience, while encouraging consideration of the beauty and strength found in diversity.
