Nightscape cityscape with illuminated buildings
Taxi driver waiting in a neon-lit street at night
Empty metro train platform at night
Water gate reflecting city lights after dark
Dimly lit bar interior with ambient glow
Commuters crossing a city street in the evening
Train platform stretching into the distance

Silence is the default state of everything that surrounds us. The void we fill with our presence, the canvas we paint on, the abundance of potential of what could be, but isn't.

Keelung harbour at dusk
Neon signs illuminating a rainy street
Fireworks bursting over a night cityscape

In its potential, it is perfection. When we do not impose arbitrarily, but rather let potential form as it wills, we enable ourselves to become part of the symphony of silence.

空山不見人,但聞人語響The empty mountain, no one visible — only the echo of voices
