Two elderly women
Two elderly women sit on a wooden bench, close to each other yet each in her own world.
The two women are wearing hiking clothes and shoes, as if they are about to go on a hike. Their faces show wrinkles that speak not only of age, but of years lived, experiences, and memories. Their gazes are directed in different directions, lost in thoughts that belong only to them.
Between them lies a silence that doesn't feel heavy, but familiar. A silence that only people who have known each other for a long time can share. They are not speaking; instead, they engage with the observers.
