“The sea falls silent, the sand covers…
and the futures of children are quietly buried.
I used the mask because identity no longer matters;
no matter where they are born, no matter what language they speak,
today’s system takes their freedom away in the same way.
Children should have been our hope.
Instead, they have become silent victims
under the shadow of greed and ambition.
One day, the waves will withdraw,
and only the traces of lost futures will remain.
The longer we remain silent,
the heavier this silence becomes.”
