in (a person or an animal) with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly". The reason why I chose this topic was because this is something I feel strongly about and it is occurring worldwide. Also because one of my close relatives experienced this and thanks to me she was able to get the help she needed. Many people have lost their lives because they are not capable or they are too afraid to leave there spouse. In certain aspects the victim feels intimidated ,less of a person and some believe they will never find any one else because they begin to feel less of a person.In most cases the victim feels there spouse loves them and only does it because they are at fault when in reality they are not the problem. I want people to know that it is never to late to get out of an abusive relationship. Speak to someone ,a friend , a family member, a person that can help you . Loosing your life over an incident that you can control is not acceptable. Abuse not only occurs in women but it also occurs in men. And it is just as bad. There are various way that one can cause abuse , emotionally,verbally and lastly physically. Abuse escalates from threats and verbal abuse to violence. Emotionally abusive relationships can destroy yourself worth and can cause depression, anxiety ,you feel as if your helpless or alone. Physical abuse is the use of physical force against someone in a way that can endanger that person . If the person your in a relationship with has hurt you once it's prone to happen again . Here are some questions you can ask yourself to determine if your in an abusive relationship . Do you feel afraid of your partner much of the time ? Does your partner humiliate you or yell at you ? Has your partner physically touched you in an inappropriate way? . Recognize the situation, once you know your in a abusive relationship, it will be easier to get out of it . There are many places to seek for help . For instance you can go online or call the national domestic violence association . I believe a big pink tulip statue with rocks on the bottom would make a good piece of artwork. The pink tulip representing the person /the victims who are going through this , and the rocks around the tulip representing all the bad things they experienced while going through this.
The tulip blooms over the rocks meaning they were able to overcome abuse .My artwork would be a 3 dimensional tulip statue, measuring 12 feet , and it would be called Tourtured flower. The tulip would be pink and the rocks would be black. Pink is a vibrant color representing peace , happiness , prosperity. The stem would be green and it would have a band-aid over it. The band-aid would be covering all the bruises, cuts . I would like to place my statue where everyone can see it ,like in the city near the Empire State Building. Many tourists and people from here go there to take pictures or just for the sake of it . I believe the big pink tulip will capture the audiences attention, making them wonder what the statue is about or what it means. This statue would be for everyone that experienced abuse and were able to overcome it , also for the people that are going through abuse. This statue can encourage the victims to leave the relationship,to speak to someone,seek for help and to let the victims know they are not alone . Sources : www.helpguide.org
