Sounds of Silence - Caged Thoughts
Sounds of Silence: Caged Thoughts is a participatory art installation conceived as a ritual rather than an object. The work invites guests into an intimate confrontation with mortality, memory, and the thoughts we carry but rarely share. Guests enter an iron birdcage and sit opposite a skeleton, the inevitable future self. Inside, participants write anonymous letters to Self, God, Love, Hate, or other abstractions, and place them into themed drawers. The letters may be read by all guests, transforming private reflection into a public offering. At the end of the evening, every letter is ceremonially burned. Nothing is kept. Nothing is judged.
While the installation is not for sale, guests may support the artist by trying PARSEEDS, an ancient hydration mix re-imagined for modern life. It’s a mood uplifter, energy booster, and hangover antidote. The perfect companion after a long Edwardian night. Available on Amazon.
Sasha Igdari
Sounds of Silence: Caged Thoughts is an immersive art installation by Sasha H. Igdari, based in the Bay Area. Conceived as a ritual rather than an object, the work invites guests into an intimate confrontation with mortality, memory, and the thoughts we carry but rarely share.
A continuation of last year’s Edwardian Ball installation, Sounds of Silence: a library of sculpted faces paired with recorded streams of consciousness, this iteration abandons the voice in favor of the written word. The installation embraces the quiet absurdity of death in the absence of moral resolution, offering structure, participation, and ritual rather than answers.
