This installation documents what is felt during the arc of passionate experience –that which is only visceral, but still familiar. What begins as something unruly and beautifully consuming turns into disillusion. The connection dissolves - not in an instant, but many: affection segments and shatters, joy recedes, pain surges. After the fallout, looking back, the memories become hazy. Some disappear, but others remain, still blurred but insistent, obsessive and silent.

"Unrelenting Silence" was a site-specific installation created for the Photographic Resource Center in Boston, MA. The installation was part of the exhibit "NEPR Showcase," and was on view August 7-25, 2012.
