Akiane: The Early Years

Silence

AKIANE KRAMARIK | AGE 9

MEDIUM: Acrylic on Canvas

There is probably no such place as I painted here, but I wanted to show a scene that I’d envisioned in my mind for a long time. It’s more expressionistic than realistic, and that’s the way I wanted it to be, a place where empty silence could also be mistaken, a place where through the sounds of nature you could hear a living silence.

SILENCE

With each silent mask,
with each silent way
silence can also be mistaken.

Sometimes dreams fall
like raindrops
from the very eye of the storm…

Holding onto antlers of the spring,
Like onto the spasms of the future,
I blow wild feathers in the wind.

With each silent mask
with each silent way
Silence can also be mistaken.

- Akiane, Age 8
