2023 SWELL ARTWORK – The Words We Never Spoke 

‘The Words We Never Spoke’ is designed to give the viewer an opportunity to write down and release the burden of the unspoken. All of us hold onto conversations that we missed the chance to have or that were simply too hard to have. 
This interactive exhibit invites the viewer to write a letter and post it into the letterboxes provided. The pigeons, in a spiritual sense symbolise transformation, mercy, forgiveness and freedom and are used as carriers of messages.
