Photo Blog of the Delilah Story

(beginning of the structure)


(Painting the walls)



(Outline drawing for outer wall painting)

Artist: Stephanie Webb



(Spiral downward - Need to be prettier. Need to be slimmer. Need to be better. Need to be smarter. Need to be more successfull. Need to ESCAPE.)



(The day arrives! We have setup on the sidewalk directly infront of Kiev City Hall)


(Entrance to The Delilah Story - the cycle of slavery)

(Abuse - Verbal, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. The end of innocence. Her identity lost.)

(Sculputure by Joan Kim)

(Painting by Pearl Sangster)


(Control - Abuse is an outward manifestation of inner pain.)


(Hardening - Numbing the pain. Masking the wounds. Only the strong survive.)


(Abuse and Confusion - The unraveling of the man's childhood tainted with abuse and confusion. His conflicting ideas of love based on the father figure in his life.)


(Love?)

Every child is born innocent. A daddy's girl, a mommy's boy. With dreams of a bright and beautiful future. This is Delilah's story.

Thanks for posting this, Stephanie! I think this art installation will really make people think about the issues and touch them on an emotional level too. So glad you could be a part of it, and I know you will continue to make a difference!
