In Me, Your Shadow, 2024/2025
Vulnerability is human, not a flaw. Those who experience domestic violence often feel shame—regardless of gender. Many stay silent out of fear, confusion, or self- doubt. Shame isolates and is hard to show. Men struggle with roles that demand strength and hide weakness. Male victims exist—but remain unseen.
In Me, Your Shadow explores not the act but its traces: invisible pain that lingers. Violence leaves marks, even when it’s over. We need a view on domestic violence that unites—not divides—recognizing pain in women and men alike.
Justice starts with empathy. (Text: Matthias Frank)
