This surreal and symbolic piece explores the tension between expression and suppression. A pair of vibrant lips dominates the canvas, their glossy red surface breaking open into rivulets of dripping color—blue, red, and orange—signifying both release and silence. Resting gently on the upper lip, a luminous damselfly suggests transformation and fragile truth, its wings carrying dotted patterns like whispers of unspoken words. Surrounding the lips, swirls of white and violet evoke echoes of sound that never fully form.

Grounded by flourishing lavender, bellflowers, and fiery blossoms, the painting anchors the viewer in the natural world, reminding us that silence, too, has its own voice. The piece invites reflection on the unexpressed—the words we swallow, the truths we hold, and the beauty that still emerges when silence drips into being.
