This artwork is made up of a pair of two canvases that are intended to be sold together. I painted " The Voice Of Silence " to express my struggles with speaking and feeling misunderstood. My inspiration came from my own feelings and experiences. In this painting the black represents the frustration of not being able to communicate effectively and the heavy emotions that come with it. The white color brings a feeling of spirituality and calm to balance out the chaos. The green symbolizes growth during challenging times, while yellow represents always a light and hope for the future.

My name is Meriem Zenaini. I am originally from Algeria but now live in Canada. I moved here when I was 8 years old in 1994. Adapting to a new society and culture was a challenge for me.As a child, I had a strong sensitivity, charisma, and a lot of energy. My interest in art started at a young age when I would create clothes for my dolls out of pieces of my mom's dresses. During my teenage years, I struggled to find my identity due to my migrant background. It wasn't until I reached adulthood that I realized my love for art. Before that, I had studied and worked in finance. It took experiencing episode of major depression to understand the impact of art on my life. These experiences helped me realize that art is a powerful way for me to express my emotion.
