In the contemporary world, silence is a rare gem awaiting rediscovery not due to its absence, but rather the non-existing coexistence with it. When granted a brief opportunity to embrace it, an intensely almost unbearable silence surfaces, the terrifying personal silence known only to ourselves becomes audible. The apprehension of experiencing it is rooted in the understanding that it brings forth a multitude of loud thoughts.

This artistic endeavor serves as a portal into a multi-layered narrative, expressed through introspective prose that underscores the significance of embracing solitude. It’s an internal dematerialization that happens when we delve into the essence of our silence.

After the birds silence is a animated video, where one can witness during this dematerialization, a unique period that guides us towards an inevitable acceptance of our vulnerability to the world.

This animation is an integral part of a set of works that made a solo exhibition, in Deiglan in Akureyri
