Broken Homes
A story about the Domestic Violence Enforcement Unit — told by the numbers.
This series of photos was set-up in my basement. They take after crime scene photos — how haunting they feel and how they tell a story without explicit photos of the victim or the perpetrator. It was important that photos of actual people weren’t used in this story for their safety, so we told it through objects.
The cover shows a moment during the initial conflict and the spread shows the stillness after the storm. As the story progresses, however, there’s supposed to be a sense of hope — the plate is slowly repaired via kintsugi. It reflects the hope programs like DOVE bring to victims of domestic violence.
