I came across you lost and broken

My name is Teresa Lawrence, and this is an art project that I began with my friend. He has been through much abuse and this is a way for him to heal. I create images based on memories he has of the events and he writes a description to go along with the piece. Through this we are able to raise awareness about abuse and turn a feeling of powerlessness into something powerful. These images are dark and can be potentially triggering.

Silent Threat
“This gesture, my father’s hand on the back of my neck, was a silent threat used when someone would ask me how I’m feeling or comment that I looked hurt. He would gently place his hand on my neck and slightly squeeze with his fingertips. Occasionally he would assist me with the answer I should give, starting my sentences, providing me with the excuse. Trapping and controlling me, like a puppet. It was mistaken as a caring gesture by the people around, they thought he was attempting to comfort me.”
