A period of disturbing events such as mass killings and gun violence happening not only in war zones but in our own neighborhoods and schools intensified the roar. I then realized we also live among other, unconsciously muted sounds that dwell within ourselves: weeps, laughs, sobs, screams, whispers; our accumulated emotions that result from past experiences, good and bad.<\/p>\n<p>It was the combination of our world\u2019s roar and my own deep-neglected sounds that led me to open my own Pandora\u2019s Box. And just like in Greek\u2019s mythology, once open, out came ills, wounds, guilt, fears and constrained emotions.<\/p>\n<p>The Pandora\u00b4s Box displayed at ALAS &#8211; Atelier &amp; Art Space \u2013 an installation consisting of a 2m cube-like wood frame with all sides wrapped entirely with painted bubble wrap sheets \u2013 was the result of that personal experience that begged for peace and quietness.<\/p>\n<p>Entering and &#8220;opening&#8221; Pandora&#8217;s Box uncovers and arouses its noises: bubbles are appeased, broken, touched and destroyed. And on the other hand, when taking a moment to be still and quiet, the sound of silence is heard. It becomes a space to reflect, to contemplate and carefully observe within, the one thing that \u2013 according to the legend \u2013 was left behind and that can possibly return the harmony and much needed silence back to our lives&#8230;hope.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-1531 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
