As I work towards photographing more individuals who have had experiences with abuse, my project has taken an interesting turn. Instead of just photographing these wonderful people one time, I visit them a second or third time. I bring them back the images that I photographed of them, and ask that they write on them, rip them up, or do whatever they would like with the images. Their responses are unique and I find them to be evoking and thought provoking. My project would be nothing without the active participation of my participants, and for that I owe them the utmost gratitude.
These images are some of the first experiments that one of my participants did to the images taken of her.
