12.12 Project Submission for May - Silence

The month of May had theme of Silence for the 12.12 project.
I had so many different ideas in my notebook - lots of thumbnails, scrawls on post-its etc. I wanted to challenge myself with another portrait because I tend to be more comfortable with landscapes. So where do you find silence in a person? With the way the world is today - especially for young people, it's sometimes difficult to capture this. I was blessed to have my niece model for me. She has an inner serenity that is so rare for someone her age. 

O Silence, how I long for thee..

Silence is the time and space after drifting to sleep 

before dreams begin..
