Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can kill you. 

Title: Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can kill you. 
Year created: 2021
Technique: Digital illustration using Adobe Illustration

Description:
This body of work comprises photographs and short video clips as a response to the loneliness and isolation, the frustration and fear of prolonged emotional and verbal abuse. Within these largely monochromatic works, I have created the sense of concrete coldness and mental entrapment experienced by so many women behind closed doors.
