Description of the Project:
We first got six juveniles held in the Shenyang Detention Center to open up to us. Their stories poured out of them and we cut together short documentaries. We took the words of abuse and realized that with their many parts, they could possibly turned into the very weapons they used to commit their crimes. So craftsmen and artists transformed the abusive words first into nickel-plated steel. Then we created 3D equivalents and gave them a little weathering, for online use. We then decided to place them in an urban background, perhaps similar to a place where they were often used. And finally added a victim, at varying ages to bring the human element and the cold steel of the words and weapons together.
