WITNESS ACCOUNTS & ART

Each artwork begins with one witness account.

Individual anonymised experiences guide the choice of medium and artistic treatment. Testimony is not embellished or combined: the concrete details of each account remain the starting point.

WITNESS TESTIMONY

An anonymised survey account description. It is not presented as a verbatim quotation.

Early pencil concept showing a dying woman in bed, a visitor beside her and a garden scene with an older woman waiting beyond.
Early concept drawing developed from an anonymised survey account.

ARTISTIC TRANSLATION

This early concept translates the supplied elements of the account — the bedside, the garden and the long-deceased mother waiting — into a visual study. The project's finished responses may use drawing, painting, sound, light, scent, sculpture or installation according to the qualities of each experience.

ANONYMITY & CARE

The testimony comes first.

Only accounts approved for public use will appear here. Names, locations, diagnoses and circumstances will not be inferred or added, and witness testimony will not be embellished for dramatic effect.
