"Defenseless" embodies the lasting scars of abuse. Cast from the body of a victim, the life-size female figure made of granite plaster stands with crossed arms—her only protective posture since the childhood trauma. The hardness of the granite, normally a symbol of strength, underscores the petrification and vulnerability she has suffered. The gray color reinforces the coldness and rigidity. The sculpture is a powerful memorial to the consequences… of abuse, a plea for support and protection for victims, and an encouragement to speak out and regain lost security.
Melanie Meyer, a self-taught artist, dedicates her work to the intensive exploration of human experience. Her sculptures and paintings express an emotional journey and focus particularly on the issue of sexual violence against children. Her art gives a voice to those affected worldwide, breaks taboos, demands justice, and serves as a testament to suffering and resilience. Driven by the search for humanity and the exploration of human existence, she creates multifaceted art that touches and inspires reflection. She sees her works as powerful instruments to bring light into an often dark world and to remind us of the inalienable nature of our humanity. She is currently seeking sponsors who share her vision to further develop her exhibition "Because what must not be cannot be," a memorial dedicated to the victims of sexual violence.
