Hearing see and silence
This is a series consisting of 3 images about child abuse.
Hear, See and Silence. We see a child in an abstract environment, abused and full of bruises.
The essence of the 3 works are about the abused child and seeing and noting that it is happening and then remaining silent about it and not acting.
Hearing: In the picture of Hearing, the child's ears are covered with a white bandaged cloth. In this, we know the child is being mistreated but then act as if nothing has happened.
Seeing: In this picture, the child's eyes are covered with a white cloth. disoriented, the child looks around.
Silence: here the child's mouth is gagged.
The series of pictures's evoke a terrible feeling of helplessness, pain and sadness in the viewer. Perhaps the feeling of it is done, it should not and cannot be done.
NB: The child in the photo is my son from 18 years ago. I love my son dearly and would never do this to him. All the wounds and bruises are created and not real. Even the bandages were applied loosely and without any pain and force. Also, my son , still very young, participated in this voluntarily. The photo session did not even last 15 minutes.
