Chain

Three Voices by M. Dangi

Source note

The closing words are by M. Dangi. The artwork places “In love, as in life, one is always alone.” beside Fyodor Dostoevsky and “Perhaps the loneliest existence is to be loved and still remain unknown.” beside Franz Kafka. The historical attributions are unverified.

And perhaps that is why the kindest souls are sometimes the most exhausted. They carry not only their own suffering, but the guilt of those who never cared enough to feel it.
