Installation of jewelry box with 572 bullet shells
Dimensions variable
Due to the recent escalation of violence and murder of women in Guatemala, this project is to honor all the women who have been murdered there in recent years. The installation consists of a wooden jewelry box made in Guatemala containing 572 bullet shells, the number of women murdered in Guatemala during 2006.
According to Amnesty International “Over 2,200 women and girls have been brutally murdered in Guatemala since 2001. Up to 665 cases were registered in 2005; 527 in 2004; 383 in 2003 and 163 in 2002. 299 killings of women have been reported between January and May 2006 alone”.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
Special Thanks to Cecilia Caldas for the jewelry box from Guatemala.
