The background of these images are simply things that are blue, for obvious reasons
âDeaf feels wonderful
Like my favourite colour blue.â
 - Alex Goacher, Meridian Primary SchoolÂ
Again, the background of this one is a macro shot of an eye for obvious reasonsÂ
âListen, not with your ears but with your eyesâ
- Sandra L. Brooks, Silent Hands
âHands flickering like zipposâ
- Raymond Luczak - Mannequins (http://www.lambdaliterary.org/reviews/poetry/)Â
These images are deliberately a lot softer because flowers are softÂ
âI ran down the hill of ever blooming flowers
When I enjoyed living in the world of blissful silenceâÂ
- Seeing Voices, Ffion Mary Hare School, Year 12
âThe ringing in your ears turned into a flooding riverâÂ
- Raymond Luczak - CounterpointÂ
Silence was obviously a common word that came up in many of the poems that I looked at during my research process. I chose the trees and the water as a background because I find this atmosphere very relaxing and serene, like silence
Soltude was another theme in most of the poems, both the pillar and the life ring were standing alone and I thought that they represented solitude wellÂ
This one is a little bit different, the backgrounds are images that I took with longer exposures and neutral density filters to create movement within the photograph
âAnd I wish that I could tell them
Of the music that I see
In the buds of spring unfolding
And the moving melody
In the motion all about it
In the birds and in the flowers
In the happy eyes of children
As they look their love in oursâ
this one speaks for itselfÂ
âThe answer might be far up in the skyâÂ
from a poem called âWhy Am I DeafâÂ
- Archie Nancarrow, Alun School, Year 8Â
again this one speaks for itselfÂ
âAll is quiet like the treesâÂ
- Amy Loizou, Invicta Grammar School, Year 7
