Behind Closed Doors: The Journey from Domestic Violence Victim to Survivor A Door. A Suitcase. Picture a women. Living in Fear. Every breathe of every second of every day she lives in fear of the person she loves. She is filled with hope; she is filled with despair – a seesaw of emotion that accompanies the bruises, the burns, and the scars to her body…to her heart. One day she finally finds the courage to walk through the door, taking with her only a suitcase filled with years of living. ****************** The Door is being displayed currently: Clay County Health Dept from October 7th through October 13th 2014 Clay County Department of Social Services from October 14 through October 20th 2014 First Citizens Bank October 21st through October 31st 2014Survivors are invited to sign the back of the door. ********************** The Exhibit is meant to be
touched and accessible to the viewing public. Observers are encouraged to “Take the Journey” and walk through the door, open the suitcase, look at the contents. **************************************** The suitcase symbolizes the life of the women traveling from victimization to freedom from an abusive relationship. She may have finally broken free from the
past, but the memories will always be with her. ****************************************    |
