SHIPS FROM Grantham, United Kingdom She speaks, she vents, she cries, she wails, she expresses her bitterness from the deepest recesses of her soul. Her words fall on deaf ears, her tears are described as crocodile’s. She is berated, and compared to a clanking cymbal. Suddenly, she reaches her breaking point, she has exceeded her threshold of pain and vulnerability. She creates resistance to pain, her source of pain becomes her point of refuge and courage, and her bitterness becomes a burning desire for vengeance, her tears which were perceived as weakness have become witness to her long suffering. She goes cold and silence becomes her voice. In her silence, the woman is louder than a thousand troops matching to combat. Her silence is deafening to them that turned deaf ears and ripples the calmest lake. Now you pray she spoke her mind because it seems her silence speaks volumes so heavy for the human heart to bear. The unspoken words of a bitter woman unsettle powers and principalities. The silence of a woman speaks louder than words. ARTIST BIO Uk-based artist of African Origin, Victor Mba has developed a technique called the art of thread and sponge seduction. His medium of expression serves a metaphorical significance in cleaning and repairing society. Sponge for scrubbing off the stains of corruption and fabric thread for uniting warring parts of society, promoting peace, and progress. Victors is passionate about gender equality, women empowerment, and society.
