ENGLISH CONTEXT EXPLANATION :

16TH APRIL, 2022 WAS THE 133RD BIRTHDAY OF THE BELOVED PERFORMER - CHARLIE CHAPLIN. BUT THIS OCCASION CAME AFTER TWO YEARS OF GREAT LOSS AND GRIEF, WHERE HUMANKIND HAD BEGUN TO LOSE BELIEF.

WHILE WE HAD CELEBRATED CHARLIE’S LIFE, FILMS AND CRAFT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, WE FELT HE HAD SOMETHING MUCH MORE TO OFFER TO THE WORLD AT THIS TIME – RESILIENCE.

WE DESIGNED 'A SILENT FROWN', A BOOK MADE UP OF LINE-ART ILLUSTRATIONS ON TRANSPARENT PAGES. EACH DEPICTING A GRUELING CHAPTER FROM CHAPLIN’S LIFE. BUT WHEN THE PAGES STACKS TOGETHER, THE DRAWINGS COME TOGETHER TO FORM THE VISAGE OF THE LEGEND.
