Silence has mass.

Silence shapes human meaning. It holds families together, ends loves, keeps what words cannot carry. dualsilence exists to listen to it, turn it in the light, and understand what it keeps.

the project

dualsilence writes about how silence shapes the inner life: the tensions that live within a person, between people, and between cultures, and what different schools of thought make of them. The work arrives as stories, mainly letters and books.

The first book is What The Silence Kept, published as two creations: one in English, one in Thai, เมื่อฉันฟังแต่ตัวเอง. The stories in the two versions differ on purpose, and the difference between them is the point.

About the project

  • the quiet ways people guard each other without a word
  • care that is served daily and never said aloud
  • the sentence a person holds back to keep a home standing
  • the hush in which someone finally hears their own voice

From What The Silence Kept · Part I

The Scent Inside the Silence

My heavy eyelids finally close, and the darkness of the room takes over. But as my breathing slows, a scent drifts in from nowhere.

It is not the clean smell of new bedsheets. It is old wood, damp and musty, like floorboards that have lived through years of sun and rain, something that has been rotting away inside my mind.

In an instant the clean white ceiling fades. It becomes the dark shapes of wooden beams, the rain stains on the walls of my memory. I can hear the floorboards creak as someone walks by. That damp, heavy air from the old cabinets brings it all back so clearly, as if it happened yesterday.

  • a boy who walks one step behind, never ahead, never level
  • the sentence that ended every fight
  • a candle kept burning on the quietest nights

the book

เมื่อฉันฟังแต่ตัวเอง · What The Silence Kept

Pian learns silence the way other children learn speech: at fourteen, in a cramped Bangkok office, promising a stranger she can endure anything. She keeps that promise for twenty years, through meals that go cold untouched, a phone that stays quiet on the worst day of her life, a man who uses her words and speaks another language. Then one night she puts the promise down and chooses herself. This is the diary of how long a promise like that can hold, and what it costs to set it down.
