    作品简介：

    家庭暴力是一种隐形的犯罪活动。我们仅能隔着墙听见一些声响，或是偶尔看见一些女人身上的伤痕，尽管她们通常会说这是撞到墙上或从楼梯上摔下来造成的。但这绝非小事，也不可能就此停止。家庭暴力不是一个简单的事件，而是由一系列事件组成的。从开始到发展到高潮，它对受害者、家人以及施暴者都会带来或多或少的影响。

    Domestic violence is a largely invisible crime. We usually only hear it muffled through walls, and we usually only see it manifested in the faded yellow and purple bruises of a woman who "walked into a wall" or "fell down the stairs." It is rarely limited to one event, and it rarely stops. My project seeks to portray domestic abuse as a process, as opposed to a single incident, examining how a pattern of abuse develops and eventually crests, as well as its short and long -term effects on victims, their families and their abusers.
