Technique : Mixed media technique using scorched natural wood to form a rugged, resilient structure; incorporating a pale flute as the central element symbolizing voice within silence. Rope is included as both a structural and symbolic component. The technique relies on strong visual and material contrasts to metaphorically emphasize creative resistance and survival amid suppression.

A pale flute rises from a scorched, rugged trunk—like a flag of resistance. *Silence That Played* embodies the persistence of freedom’s voice when silence is enforced. A visual echo of a melody that survives in darkness, where music endures despite all prohibitions.
