What are the Chances

 

Themes: domestic violence, IPV, femicide, affairs of the heart, relationship gambles and risks, social and intimate victimization, grooming and victimization process

 

Description: This artwork consists of a re-purposed bingo ball dispenser containing red and white balls, one third are red representing the statistic that one in three women world-wide have been subjected to assault or abuse. A video projection over the cage reflects random balls bouncing around aimlessly metaphorically symbolizing the vulnerabilities and risks that may unknowingly be at play and out of one’s control when embarking on a relationship - no one enters into a relationship intending to become a victim.
