Silence Speaks and We Don’t Listen. Gerard Castellví

“Silence speaks and we don’t listen” has the texture of stones and the depth of time. For Gerard Castellvi, the transcendent is everything that emerges from a sacred space, its silence, which, as in Japanese culture, is not emptiness but fullness. “In silence the most important task is to do nothing. Nothing is to be pretended, achieved or conquered.” It is a conscious gaze without prerequisites, a letting go until the truth emerges.

I constantly reflect on what is truly hidden behind our perceptions. I question whether the way we experience sensations faithfully reflects the truth, that truth that we all long to discover and that often lies in the deepest recesses, that truth that needs to be unearthed and that, paradoxically, plunges us into uncertainty when we finally find it.
