The figures in "A Hopeful Silence" are in a state of shame or resentment, but still hopeful. Whatever hurt or pain they are sharing is strongly connecting them. They are elevated towards each other despite their ability to confront one another. Instead they are attracted through a silent communication, one of hope and continuation. The color blue signifies the "vishuddha" or throat chakra which represents communication and is known as the purification center.
