Exposing Scars
Domestic Violence- Trapped in a bubble of indecision, fear and love.
Last April I found myself inside Orange Coast College Gallery admiring a photography exposition “A Personal Journey-Exposing scars” by Jennifer George a student at Orange Coast College. Admiring is not the right word to say it, because it is hard to watch the horror that every photography denounces; Every photography carries a story of domestic violence whether is physical, verbal or emotional; the scars are deep and painful.
Being there, I meet a lady in her 70s that said, she felt related to the exposition as she was a victim of domestic violence as well.
You can not help but to feel sad and even have teary eyes when you read every story attached to the image of violence.
Some of the women portrayed in the exposition were killed by their husbands or boyfriends, others have escaped the ordeal.
“In the exhibit student photographer Jennifer George strongly exposes the world to domestic violence, giving abused women a voice with her unique style of photography and bold statements through her own experiences.“said Brando Lien, staff writer for CoastReport.com
