The Shape of Quiet

Mara has been deaf since childhood, but her world has never been silent. Through touch, vibration, light, and human connection, she experiences life in ways many people never stop to consider.

When she is invited to create a featured art installation for a winter exhibit themed, Unspoken, Mara sets out to challenge the assumptions others have made about deafness, silence, and what it truly means to be heard. As family, friends, and old wounds find their way into her work, she discovers that communication is far more than sound - it is about presence, understanding, and the willingness to connect.

The Shape of Quiet is a heartfelt literary short story about identity, belonging, forgiveness, and the many ways love leaves its mark on our lives.

A gentle thought-provoking read that reminds us that silence is not absence, and that every life has its own language.
