Price We Pay

The price we pay to keep a secret

The price we pay to stay silent

The price we pay to look the other way

The price we pay to say, "It’s not my business."

The price we give to hold back

The price that was paid for us to feel grace

The price we ALL pay.

This body of work has been created to illustrate the heavy price paid by victims of domestic abuse. Even after the abuse has stopped, the suffering continues for many. For some the pain is permanent. Speaking as a victim of domestic abuse, I must work through my memories, emotions and endure the psychological disorders I have as a result.
