Melania Messina’s project “Glimpses of Broken Silence” explores domestic violence through handwritten testimonies placed within everyday environments. The series avoids depicting physical trauma, focusing instead on emotional experiences and the presence of voice. Created in collaboration with seven women survivors, the work emphasizes participation and personal narrative, where each text becomes an intimate portrait. The project traces a movement from violence toward awareness and possible healing, presenting photography as a relational and interpretative process rather than traditional documentation.
