Description

Speechless Narrative examines the limitations and silence experienced by multilingual speakers. When a second language becomes the primary medium of thought yet fails to fully carry emotion and memory, language begins to fracture and lose coherence. The work employs mosaic as a visual device, concealing text within a rigid structure that transforms language from legible to obscured. The mosaic functions as both a filter of translation and a metaphor for uncertainty in cross-linguistic expression. Through this visual concealment, the project reveals the residual traces of narrative that persist between comprehension and absence.
