A ring of severed trunks stands in quiet assembly.
Hollowed from within, they no longer grow upward, they listen inward.
The Silent Congress is an installation about what remains after extraction: memory without voice, structure without function, presence without speech. The circle suggests governance, ritual, and ancient gathering. Yet these bodies are emptied. Authority has been removed from the inside.
The work asks:
Who speaks when the center is gone?
What grows after the core is hollowed?
Medium: Sculptural installation
Materials: Reclaimed tree trunks, naturally hollowed
