You Hear It, We Live It

The Reason

It is said that in the United States alone, 1 person is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds, making about 463,000 victims every year. I am one of those victims. These stories are each unique and incredibly important to share, yet constantly overlooked and ignored. Some are dismissed, and some are brought to the media. And yet, people are constantly fighting for belief and support. My goal with this project is to not only shed light on a few stories and bring awareness but to also possibly reach out to other victims, letting them know that they are not alone and that there are many resources to help deal with such traumatic experiences.

The Result

The experience was said to have isolated people in the moment. In a room full of chaos and noise, it centralized their attention to one thing, the voice. Listeners said how surreal the experience was. Many were moved or shocked. Watching listeners freeze in the moment to sincerely hear what was being said was a beautiful moment to witness.
