IN MEMORY-4. YEARS PROJECT

Child abuse is physical or psychological maltreatment of a child by an adult. It can be misunderstood as if it is only sexual. Every kind of physical or verbal violence, harassment, rape is examples of child abuse. Also, child labors, child brides, children who are used by terror organizations are different kinds of child abuse. Children usually do not comprehend or are scared to  tell anyone so they stay silent. The pain they have can be seen on their eyes or understood from their behaviors. That is why   we tried to visualize children’s silent scream without using any voice. Children are the future. Accordingly, the lights that are  used in the project, represents both the children and the future. The dimmed light bulbs stand for the children who lost their lives in consequence of an abuse. We want to show that if child abuse continues to happen and if child death continues, how dark will be our future. The lights that keep shining represent that kids are pure and they will stay as the hope for the future. The concretes which try to pull the lights down are the loads which the abused children have to carry through their lives. The concrete looks as soft as that it can be squeezed by a rope; however they are actually rigid and heavy. With creating this form, we want to show that even though sometimes child abuse can be seen as if it is normal or temporary; it leaves permanent marks on children’s mind and heart. We wish that the awareness of people will be increased in time and thus children will keep standing upright and shining.
