  1. Living Through Silence by Roymieco Carter, Image 1.

    Roymieco Carter

    Living Through Silence, 2024

    Acrylic on Canvas

    16 x 20 in (40.64 x 50.8 cm)

Carter’s work confronts the complex interplay between mandated silence and the unspoken horrors of history. Employing a visual language of nuanced contrasts, the composition juxtaposes delicate color palettes with jarring bursts of intensity and subtle tonal shifts against stark, revealing light. This deliberate juxtaposition highlights the tension between willful historical amnesia and the burden borne by those who remain acutely aware of the past (Oba 43). The work compels viewers to consider the profound ethical dilemma: whether silence serves as a refuge or constitutes a form of implicit complicity in perpetuating historical injustice.
