"I can't say.
 Don't see.
 I listen to the noise of life
 so as not to hear;
 don't feel the tears that,
 without you,
 they drown my heart."

 Protective silence: when absence becomes noise.

 "Without You" is a visual and poetic portrait of the self-defense mechanism in the face of profound loss. The poem describes the desperate attempt to stifle the pain by focusing on the "noise of life" so as not to hear one's own drowning heart.

 The figure is wrapped in a dramatic fusion of dark colors and material textures, created by the skillful use of inks, acrylics on canvas.
 The body, almost hidden or merged with the background, symbolizes emotional isolation.
 The water or dark liquid that permeates the image is not only the cosmic background, but the metaphorical element of the "tears" that, in the absence of the other, submerge the soul.

 An intense work that speaks to anyone who has had to learn to survive the void, protecting their heart from its own pain.
