"Battered Woman Syndrome”

      Designed for indoor public exhibition, the figure of a woman struggling to hold up  her  

    calm & serene  'every things fine, face' while the figure herself  shows deep cracks & 

    wounds, the arm supporting her is crumbling.

     She is chained to herself, to her situation. On the base are the names of domestic violence

    homicide victims, along with the dates of their 

    murders. Above the names is a plaque with the 

    name & contact information for the local   

     domestic violence shelter.  A beautiful and

    moving work of Art, the sculpture has been used

    to both honor the victims and to raise awareness

   of the serious and deadly consequences of ignoring Domestic Violence issues, and to direct

   victims to the agencies that can save lives.
