Abstract
Domestic violence can have profound and lasting effects on individuals and affect almost every aspect of their lives. It can often create health and personal challenges making it easy for victims to be triggered in spaces. The stages of an abusive relationship can be difficult to recognize due to their layered complexities and subtleties. My thesis proposes "Voices of Strength" as an experiential exhibit for domestic violence survivors, a safe haven created through the principles of trauma informed design; where women can find a sense of community and foster empowerment through various reflecting activities in spaces intentionally designed to promote active healing and vulnerability.
