Aftermath is an art installation project that explores the aftermath of sexual assault and what victims go through. Many victims of sexual assault suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and struggle to understand their symptoms or cope. This installation examines the relationship between the bystander, the victim, and the perpetrator, and how everyone is complicit in the incident's aftermath. It seeks to showcase the perception of the victims when they have to survive the aftermath and attempt to heal while highlighting how the reactions of bystanders can harm or help them during the recovery process.
