The Cost of Our Silence

The Cost of Our Silence

About this Artwork

In the hush of the tide, a story drifts ashore — a life once carried by the deep, now stilled beneath an unanswered sky. Was it nature, or was it us? The ocean holds its secrets: coral reefs bleaching, oil threading poison through currents, waste drifting where beauty once lived. Every wave carries the truth we avoid. Yet even in loss, there is a whisper that life is sacred and never promised twice. We stand as witnesses to what happens when we look away. There is a cost to our silence — unless we return to light, love, and protecting the sea that sustains us.
