“The Silence of Power” explores the nuanced relationship between control and submission, voicing the unspoken tension that exists beneath the surface of societal structures. In this portrait, the act of covering the eyes symbolizes enforced blindness—an unwilling or conditioned refusal to see the truth. Simultaneously, the gesture of silence—placing a finger to the lips—evokes the weight of suppression, a warning against speaking out. The adorned hands above, marked by rings and symbolic strength, represent the figure of authority—faceless, dominant, and omnipresent.
