Program Description

The Silence that Shapes​ The Silence that Shapes interrogates the very terms by which human beings have come to understand the world. For centuries, we have read nature through a distinctly human lens—projecting onto it our fears and expectations, our lacks and our longings. Yet the question persists: can we ever truly interpret nature on its own terms? Mountains and oceans, earth and light transform and endure according to their own order. Meaning, it turns out, has always been our imposition; nature neither mirrors our emotions nor bends to resemble us.
