The Weight of Words

The Weight of Words captures the ache of wanting to read, learn, and create endlessly — yet never having enough time. The body made of stacked books and scattered pages becomes a portrait of unfinished thoughts, of knowledge longed for but not fully lived. The seated figure, paired with an empty chair, evokes themes of dialogue, absence, and the quiet burden of carrying more stories than one can ever tell.
