️ Artist Statement:

“Vow of Silence” is not about secrecy it is about sacred stillness. In a world intoxicated by speed and spectacle, this portrait is a rebellion through quietude. The closed eyes and tightly bound fabric are not barriers but vessels: holding presence, grief, wisdom, restraint.

The subject does not seek to be seen. He is not hiding either. He is simply being.

This piece explores themes of inner monasticism, personal sovereignty, and the aesthetics of retreat. It honors those who speak loudest by not speaking at all.
