“Silent Without the Sun” By Edward de Carvalho
To athletes, the Olympics and Paralympics are as sacred as time itself. The training that goes on behind the scenes is no different. The repetitions and revolutions are like seconds that make up the hour. But, what if that clock was to stop?
”Silent Without The Sun” showcases what happens when there is a break in the cycle. Through the sport of rowing, we showcase the resilience, commitment and training of the men and women from the Australian National Rowing Training Centres.
“Having a sense of purpose is what motivates us. Last year it was a struggle to find that purpose and I felt there was a story to be told there. I decided to combine an old passion with a new passion and create a piece for a sport which doesn’t have the visual boundaries pushed very often. And so, Silent Without The Sun was born. ”
