Project Unbreakable -- The Latest Photographs

Project Unbreakable is a collection of photographs taken by Grace Brown of rape victims holding signs which quote something their rapist said to them. This from the site:

The mission of Project Unbreakable is to increase awareness of the issues surrounding sexual assault and encourage the act of healing through art. Since the project's conception in October 2011 by then nineteen year old Grace Brown, it has featured over two thousand images of sexual assault survivors holding posters with quotes from their attackers. Project Unbreakable has been featured media outlets such as Glamour, TIME, The Huffington Post, and The Guardian.

Most of the comments were made during the attack. However, many were made afterward -- meeting on the street, or in the classroom, in court, or in an e-mail, etc.

This one is particularly striking to me. Photographed in Baltimore, MD on April 30, 2013.




















This series is disturbing. Photographed in Solana Beach, CA on April 21, 2013 and NYC on February 15th, 2013.
