Soundproof Forest

An overstuffed quilted landscape shrouded in a silver soundproof fog grows from the horizon and spills out of the container. A drawer can be dug out like a hunk of shoveled dirt that buried the unknown. The concept germinates from George Berkeley’s, “if a tree falls in the middle of a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?” and grows into, “if a person could do something that no one would ever know about, what would that person do?” This can be taken existentially or psycho/socially, meaning, the value of life as quantified by observation, or behavior as based on reaction to ethics and social mores. Absolved from all cause and effect, can a total freedom of action be obtained? If so, what would you do?
