Hurry To Do Good!
Mikhail Kononenko, physics teacher,
known as a Diver
The Silence of Exams
Empty desks, each with only a notebook, a pen, and a pencil.
No books. No talking.
All attention is turned inward.
***
In the semi-darkness, a desk lamp glows softly, black curtains block out the daylight,
just like at home: when father came in after work, the table had to be perfectly organized, with draft papers and extra pens ready.
It was a ritual: order, silence, and full attention to every task.
***
In the background — the Teacher’s silhouette in shadow.
He is not controlling. He creates the field.
Above the scene, a neon phrase glows:
THE SILENCE OF EXAMS
This work is about how silence can become space.
And how attention can be a form of love.
Alt-text:
A dimly lit classroom scene during an exam. On the desks — only notebooks, pens, and pencils. A desk lamp glows. In the background, the teacher stands in shadow. Above the scene, the neon text “The Silence of Exams” glows softly.
