Echoes in the Stone
The walls remember. They hold the weight of footsteps long since faded into the dust. We walk through these corridors, thinking we are the first to pass, or perhaps the last. But the stone is patient. It keeps the rhythm of every breath taken within its reach.
There is a heavy stillness here. It is not empty. It is full of what has been left behind—the ghost of a conversation, the lingering heat of a hand against a railing, the shadow of a person who turned a corner and never returned. We are only visitors in a house built of memory.
Do we leave a mark? Or are we merely passing through, like wind through a hollow reed?
Listen. The silence is speaking.
Melissa O’Gara has captured this weight in her work titled Life Underground. She invites us to stand in the quiet and wonder who walked here before us. Will you step inside and listen to what the stone has to say?
