Text of the artwork: 

who controls the silence?

[plaque]

somehow I learned to
separate the experience
from the feeling : this way
I wouldn't be present
when the bad stuff
happened.

 

I'm still trying to put
myself back together
and so
I mourn.

 

[dyptique]

living with the memories  the
terror  guilt  shame  pain  hurt 
ever present (even if they
now say they're sorry)

 

what truths must I tell my children?

 

[plaque]

when I was little, my father told me
that each person is given a certain
number of words to use during their
life. when the words are used up, the
person dies. I remember counting each
word I spoke, afraid I would die young.

 

I promised I wouldn't do that to my daughter.
