Sticks and Stones (90cm x 120cm)

At the heart of Sticks and Stones lies a simple but potent question: What do words leave behind? Words spoken to others, about others – and to ourselves.

The imaginary strata stand as symbols of visible and lasting impact. Like layers of sediment, words leave a residue on our inner terrain. They accumulate beneath the surface of our lives. This piece is an invitation to consider the kind of world we create with our words. We all have the right to speak. We also have the power to choose language that uplifts, respects, and connects. Words are powerful. Wield them well.
