“Silence is the creation of space, a space that memory needs to use . . . an incubator. We're dealing here with dimensions, stretching our inner muscles, pushing aside any interference. We're dealing with numbers, but not counting. Silence demands the nature of night, even in full day, it demands shadows.”
― Etel Adnan, Shifting the Silence

“The day is not made of light, but of will”
― Etel Adnan, Time
