THE SOUND OF THE WORD
The
artist's
interest
in
the
letters
of
the
alphabet
leads
to
their
combination
into
syllables
and
words,
which
are
the
units
of
the
phonemic
chain
that
makes
the
sentence.
But
she
goes
beyond
that.
She
captures
the
physical
being
of
the
word
and
treats
it
with
the
attention
and
the care one dispenses to a fragile creature.
In
the
pictures
gathered
under
the
title
The
Sound
of
the
Word,
she
reveals,
in
the
delicate
touch
and
soft
tone
of
colour,
a
deep
sense
of
responsibility
for
the
usage
of
language.
Its
importance
as
the
most
generalised
form
of
communication,
exposed
to
violent
feelings
and
ideological
manipulations,
is
crucial
for
the
mental
and
physical
well
being
of
the
individual
and the community.
By
implication
the
pain
that
afflicts
human
beings
and
the
social
ills
that
affect
society
are
excluded
from
the
semantic
fields
explored
by
the
artist,
but
never
forgotten
or
ignored
in
her concern for human life.
