Where I Killed My Rapist, 2026

Pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta, Diasec mounting on acrylic glass, shadow frame

Where I Killed My Rapist is a personal story, where shame needs to change a side. Breaking the label of a victim and bringing up the survivor’s story to the public eye. Anger is a normal emotion after surviving trauma, but many have been taught to bury it. I’m using art as way to bring justice as well as tool to comprehend difficult emotions. Written poem for compliment the work: Evening, night I remember walking in a fog and feeling the rain Little did I know that was the end, and beginning Silently you took something away after laughing at me Next thing I’m at home, wondering why I feel so wrong The other day something was calling me It was the house I need to go back nothing more, nothing less It was just a house There I was, smiling again realizing it wasn’t my shame This work was built to be peer support for survivors of sexual violence. I’m currently working on making new art works for the future solo exhibition. This work will be part of it.
