I've written a lot about white space & negative space as it fascinates me. Yes, the unsaid but sometimes still known and realised feelings and words that need not be said too.

The wind is its own white space and more! Sometimes silent, sometimes a whisper, sometimes a roar, but always leaving negative or white space behind it.
