As humans, we suffer acts that inflict undeserved hurt.
These injustices apply to any act that involves unfairness to another or violation of one's rights.
An abuser wants to make us feel guilty, lonely, hurt, or angry because it's their only sense of power in life.
Emotional abusers employ a variety of tactics in subtle, often invisible ways that erode our confidence, trust, joy, and a sense of safety.
These dynamics happen frequently, and we are all experiencing them. There is nothing we can do to stop it, and there isn't any legal process that condemns these injustices. But we can talk about it. And we have to do, for ourself and for those who can’t.

This project is a form of protest against emotional abusers and  a form of justice for all the victims. 

︎Acts that inflict undeserved hurt
I met Franck L. through a friend of a friend during hiking. I dated him for a few weeks until I run-away at 1 am from his flat, 176 Harford St. E1 4GF in Mile end.
I was disgusted by his childish attitude for pretending something aggressively, without asking any permission; and by his abusive and violent reactions against me for unmatching his pretentious expectations.
Left the flat, I started walking in the area. I was full of sentences and words.
As a woman, I felt very disrespected.
I took the Sharpie pen from my back bag and wrote in anger on boxes left in the street by shops and minimarkets. Then I took a taxi and went home. The day after, I went back there with my camera to document it.

The friend with whom I met Franck, knows and was well informed about his aggressive attitude against women. Despite knowing other people faced similar situations, she refused to recognize them as acts that inflict undeserved hurt.

Coping with injustices is difficult for me.  And it is difficult coping with people who know and see but do not talk, hide and protect abusers. I can't accept this toxic silence.
 
Coping with injustices is difficult for me. And it is difficult coping with people who know and see but do not talk, and they prefer to hide and protect abusers. I can't accept this toxic silence. I can’t.
For this reason, I decided to share this images and hope it will helps other to do the same or something like that.
