Solilo is about stories, but more than that — it’s about seeing each other. About giving form to the unseen, the unspoken, the deeply felt.

About Solilo
Solilo is a celebration of storytelling, the power of truly listening, and the alchemy of creativity and empathy. Inspired by the introspection of a soliloquy, it creates space for stories to be shared, heard, and transformed into art.
Each story submitted will be given to another human, who will interpret it into a unique piece — whether through poetry, sculpture, music, or another form of expression.
We will witness how words take on new life through another’s perspective. Solilo invites us to slow down, connect with the emotions that unite us, and find beauty in one another’s narratives, reminding us that every story has meaning and art has the power to bring us closer together.
How it Works
-
1. Starts with a Story
A simple prompt invites people to share a piece of their experience.
-
2. A creative receives it
Writers, painters, musicians, sculptors, and other artists sign up to receive a story. Each one is randomly paired with a story — no context, just the words.
-
3. Art happens
The artist interprets the story in their own way. There are no limitations — only transformation.
-
4. The Reveal
When the piece is complete, the story’s original author sees their story reflected back to them through a new lens.
The vision for the future:
For now, Solilo exists as a quiet experiment — a collective of stories waiting to be created into art. But one day, it will be something more:
A traveling gallery. Imagine an exhibition where each piece is paired with its original story — an interactive space where people can read, listen, and experience the journey of a story.
A storytelling archive. A growing collection of human experiences, preserved and interpreted through art.
A living project. Something that evolves as more voices, more hands, and more hearts take part.
If you have a story to share, you’re already part of it.
If you want to create, the stories are waiting.
