At first glance, this faceless figure is playing a guitar on an outdoor bench in a scene that feels peaceful, soft and almost cinematic. But look closer and then you notice, the guitar has no strings. Yet he remains completely absorbed in the music. How ironic… While blurred figures move through the scene, he is focused on a melody that cannot be heard by anyone else. The music isn’t coming from the instrument. It comes from within… Inwards is a reflection on those moments when purpose, hope, and direction emerge from a place deeper than the world around us. The figure’s music is silent to everyone around him. Yet it is powerful enough to hold his complete attention. Perhaps that is the point, sometimes the most important voice we can listen to is our own.
