This work commemorates those who have been suppressed and constrained by political power. It reflects an era in which the public voice was systematically ignored and the fundamental right to expression was stripped away. The suspended A4 white sheets within the space represent individuals within a collective consciousness. Devoid of text, they paradoxically express everything that cannot be spoken. Above them, a faintly visible iron hammer serves as an unmistakable symbol of the forces that seek to erase and control dissent.
Presented in the form of a monument, the installation functions both as a site of remembrance and as a sign of warning. A strategically positioned light source casts a towering shadow, evoking the silent yet urgent presence of history itself. Through the interplay of material and light, fragility and resilience, absence and resistance, the work compels us to remember the enduring power of freedom, collectivity, and the silent forms of defiance.
