Prediploma –
Under Pressure


How people struggle daily?

Sadly, the numbers are high, you have been through it too. My mom used to tell me as a kid – be always polite, you never know how a word or action can thrigger, every head is a whole world by itself. We see and interact with people every second. We are out there getting the train on the way back home, getting a coffee around the corner or getting a plant and giving ourselves a nice little smile. Think about it.

The purpose of this project was to create awareness by putting people under pressure in public places with a focus on two specific topics: suicide and sexual harassment.



Sex sells

As a woman in society, you have to fill in a specific type – be quiet and beautiful. Be a lady but never provoque, cause men don’t like sluts, or ugly, or old and fat … I guess that is what they meant, when they say you can become anything you want. You will work and serve men, please their pleasure and become an object. As I get older, I tell to myself – be extra and never please anyone, risk it, we will be safe.



A little side-note

Problems can be solved, but please allow people to talk their thoughts out loud without any judgement. If you happen to see or feel anyone in an uncomfortable situation, offer help. It could also be you …
