Awareness Project *TRIGGER WARNING IN DESCRIPTION*
TRIGGER WARNING THIS IS A VIDEO THAT HAS VERY EMOTIONAL AUDIO WITH SUICIDE BASED MAKEUP THAT MAY CAUSE YOU TO HAVE INTENSE FEELINGS OR TRIGGER MEMORIES THAT YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT. THIS IS THE ONLY WARNING
Hello,
For my sculpture final, I created an audio, visual enclosed experience that would help raise suicide awareness and and prevention. The experience put no more than 6 adults at a time inside a tall box with statistics all over the walls. The box was an 8ft by 8ft room space with a clear curtain hung down the center to separate the audience in a 4ft by 8ft area and the actor for the piece on the other side. the audience would enter, the curtain door would close and the lights would all go dark. from the top of the box two runs of fluorescent lights and one light bulb over the actor came on dimly and flickered as the audio came on. The audio contained is some music I found here on youtube while searching for intense emotional instrumental and the words are edited in by me from my recordings that a friend in the radio station helped me record. I made the echos as well. And all the makeup and structures were all made by me. My fiance was the actor and it was done very short notice but she did an amazing job.
please keep any negative or rude comments to yourself. the idea here is that negative words can really harm people. so lets not add to the pain others feel in the comments either.
feel free to reach out to me if you need to talk and always remember there are people on the prevention hotlines who are there for you and do those jobs because they care about you and believe you matter.
