Without A Cause

Robel Solomon Tewelde

This composition is an uplifting homage to the transformative power of truth and the enduring necessity of free thought—a celebration of the human spirit's ability to rise, even in the darkest of times, to create a brighter, freer future.The man with a taped mouth represents the inner strength and resilience of those who remain unheard, his silence a moving reflection on the challenges of being unseen. The empty white plate becomes a symbol of possibility—suggesting that even in moments of absence, the potential for growth and understanding remains. The encrypted letter and the raven, named Moses, evoke the mystery of hidden truths and the complexity of the stories we tell. The poem in Tigrinya honors the unshakable spirit of storytellers—their courage, creativity, and unwavering dedication to sharing their vision. This piece invites reflection and appreciation for the transformative power of expression and the human spirit’s ability to persevere. It is a hopeful tribute to the light that can emerge from silence, inspiring unity, connection, and a shared sense of purpose.
