That which is unsaid
2017 - Pencil drawings on paper and wall.

"I wonder about what is unsaid. what is read between lines. what is implied. what is silenced. that which need not to be said out loud. what we can not say. Silence that can both expand and reduce. and many things in between"
- halla birgisdóttir, pictorial storyteller




This one is selecting a location to move to

She tries to take roots again

They talk with their hands

She prefers not to leave him alone

This one is pretty high up

They stand together, or lie down

They can't hear each other anyway

This one is reading quite a lot

She feels she has changed

This one does not expect to ever be able to quit

This one is wondering if the other one is really not going into rehab

She will connect eventually

She thinks she should perform a ceremony to honor the memory

This one has settled in very well

They dug a hole and decided to stand in it

They do not have to say out loud what they think

Night

This is just the beginning

This could be worse

Many things are kept secret

This room is empty

This one is not very optimistic

Hundreds of years of settling

Real or not, she still feels the warmth

They are sad and also have a guilty conscience

It would be better to be free of this

Why are you endlessly looking at these old pictures?

They wander around without a destination

I guess we'll just be together from now on

They remembered the same memory

Kittens do not need words
