"They walk the streets and I live a life sentence." KC, a survivor. (Detail) 重寫歷史:「他們在街上行走,我卻被終身監禁。」 KC,
一 位倖存者 ( 細部) 50cm x 50cm x 4.5cm 2010
作品的靈感來自: KC,50歲,被強姦過二次,一次在14歲,一次在三十歲左右: "我時常想,作為一個受害者,現在一個倖存者,我過著終身監禁的生活。當我一成為受害者,我的自由便被剝奪了。我五十年來也沒法取回我的自由。他們在街上行走,我卻被?身監禁。直至我死的那天
- 我也無法動搖這座監獄。" "經歷了兩次強姦,我體會到恐懼的威力 - 第一次是刀,第二次是肢體暴力,所以...我總是擔心...萬一...所以我會不惜一切代價去逃避。" "知識
- 我學習和閱讀得愈多,我就對強姦愈加了解。我能一點一點地明白:我是一個正常人。知識救了我。" "當一個受害人報案了,她需要有人堅定地幫助她,因為她一般都會相當虛弱。"
"你會有點像一個痲瘋病人,如果你被強姦了。"* 有些人認為摸摸,強行造愛,沒什麼大不了。因為女人愛被寵愛。其實,女人對自己的身體應有自主權,加上哪有人喜歡在被迫和被侮辱的情?下被摸或造愛?這些罪行可以為受害者帶來持久的創傷。 This
art work is inspired by KC, 50 years of age, survivor of 2 rapes, one at 14,
one in her thirties.
" One thing I
always think about being a victim, now a survivor, I live a life sentence. Once
I was a victim the first time I was stripped of my freedom. I haven't gotten that
back in my fifty years. Freedom. They walk the streets and I live a life sentence.
I'll live it to the day I die - I can't shake it." "When both rapes
happened, I learned the impact of fear - there was a knife in the first one and
the second was physically violent so … I'm always worrying 'what if' … so I try
to avoid it at all costs." "knowledge - the more I would try to
learn and read, the more I learned about rape. I would pick up bits and pieces.
I would learn I was normal. Knowledge is the one that saved me." "
When a rape is reported, someone has to step in who can be strong for that person,
because that person's not strong." "You're kind of like a leper,
too, if you've been raped."* Some people think it is no big deal to touch
women or to have sex with women without their consent because women fantasize
to have sex and to be touched. They are too shy to express their wishes. In fact,
no women like having sex under threatening and being humiliated. The crime can
bring long-lasting trauma to the victims.
