About the artwork
A parade of faces with tongues playfully extended captures the essence of silent, whimsical communication. This visual jest pokes fun at the intricacies of unspoken human interaction. Tongues, typically symbols of taste and speech, are transformed into exaggerated instruments of non-verbal expression, teasing the idea of wordless 'conversation'.
