Shifting the Silence

Description:
A more contemporary example of Adnan’s blending of literature and visual art, Shifting the Silence was published one year before Adnan died at age 96. In it, she considers her impending mortality and meditates upon many of the themes present within her past work, such as mountains, space, and war.
