Domestic Arsenal by Eileen Doktorski

A memorial to victims of family violence, Domestic Arsenal uses common household objects to reference trauma. A mound of 365 cast toys, furniture and other ordinary items take on a formidable presence as an arsenal that could be misused to inflict harm. On the walls surrounding the debris pile are newspaper articles citing cases of domestic violence. Eileen Doktorski is a 2009 Dr. Ruth Tan Lim Project Room proposal winner.
