Hidden Thoughts

There are thoughts that never rise to the surface: they live beneath it, like water flowing beneath ice. Hidden Thoughts is a face suspended in the depths of the self, its eyes closed to a world within that no one can enter. The cracks crossing the surface are not wounds: they are marks of time, traces left by thoughts that have been held back for too long, like an ancient fresco preserving its image beneath layers of silence. The tones of water and copper evoke a mind that reflects, gathers itself, and protects its secret. What we truly think, perhaps, we will never reveal.
