Echoes of Survival (2025)

A Visual Series by Voices For Us

Echoes of Survival is an ongoing visual art series that transforms the silent, buried, and unspoken experiences of abuse survivors into powerful creative expression. Through abstract digital artworks and layered collages, this series captures the emotional landscapes that survivors walk through — grief, fragmentation, rage, healing, and the reclaiming of voice.

Each piece is a reflection of personal and collective memory. Some are shaped by my own journey. Others will emerge from the echoes of our community.

This series exists to:

• Raise awareness about the internal and external realities of abuse

• Create a visual language for survivorhood

• Build a space of resonance and belonging for those who feel unseen

• Empower survivors to turn pain into expression, and silence into sound

Echoes of Survival is more than art. It’s a testimony. A revolt. A love letter to those still surviving.

Title: Countdown to Silence (2025)

“Time didn’t pass. It bled.”

This piece is titled Countdown to Silence — a moment in time that echoes my story. The clocks, the chaos, the cage. Each stroke, a scream I buried.

As I share in my full story here, silence wasn’t a choice. It was survival.

This visual is not just art; it’s the residue of memory, of pain dressed in red, black, and broken shapes.

“I was just a kid. I was alone in that pain. He made sure of that.”

Echoes of Survival is for every survivor whose voice was stolen and is now being reclaimed.

We are not invisible. We are not voiceless. We are the art. We are the echo.
