"Bullying breeds desolation" embodies:
a sense of isolation;
a flood of self-criticism;
a futile need to please.

Moe is one of an on-going series called 'Sticks and stones'
giving voice to an experience of bullying. 'Bullying weighs me down' expresses how an act of bullying weighs heavily on the victim: sleeplessness; sluggish movements; physical aches and pains. Uriah is one of a series where I am exploring a personal experience of bullying.
'Bullying has a long reach' considers how bullying opens old wounds; jeopardises the victim's livelihood; seeks out vulnerabilities, near and far; lowers self-esteem. "Sticks and stones may break your bones
but words will never harm you." Job is the first in a series exploring a recent experience of bullying. I am making one doll a day within an hour until I have worked through the personal impact. This doll considers 'bullying creates a void': a numbness, an emptiness, an area of desolation. |
