Beneath Your Skin.

A reminder of spring warmth on a cold winter day

Merello/Volta Monument: This 8 foot tall bronze sculpture is a depiction of a grief stricken young woman in her wedding dress. She is clutching a bouquet of flowers and appears to have fallen on the church’s steps. Time and weather have only served to make this sculpture more forlorn by etching stains running down her face that look remarkably like tears. Amazingly, nothing else is known about the monument, but the rumor persists that she was a relative of a gangster and was shot for revenge.This is located in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.

Time has announced that their choice for 2017′s Person Of The Year is The Silence Breakers - a collective term for all the people who spoke out about sexual harassment this year, creating a culture that aims to encourage victims to speak up, free of shame, and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions, regardless of their power. Better still, though the piece itself is diverse in its portrayal of victims of different gender identities and races, and of different socio-economic statuses, the article takes cognisance of the gendered nature of sexual harassment - in that women are disproportionately victims of sexual harassment at the hands of men - by being conceived, reported, and written entirely by women. From fact-checking, to video-editing, to designing the layout and photo spread, everything about this article was created by women.
