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 the 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.
