ISOLATED SILENCE depicts young men crying.
The explanation might be started with the opposite.
Laughter expresses joy, the power of creation. It comes from abundance, as a small-scale imitation of the way God created the world. Being in the middle of this, Creator explodes the horn of plenty in every direction with the sound of Om, drumming and rumble of thunder. In terms of activity, laughter is masculine - self-confident, active and extrovert.
Opposing laughter, crying expresses a feminine state: letting go of the past, making space for the new and accepting it. Crying is the physical manifestation of letting go of the feelings. It can be caused by both sadness and happiness. Blessings and good wishes force negative emotions out of one's body - this creates pain. The deeper the blessing touches you, the more emotions will be released.
It is uncommon to cry in public, especially for men, as it expresses weakness. Whenever feelings emerge, people think it is better not to show them but keep them for themselves. Being surrounded by the personal space expresses introversion.
