A JOURNEY INSIDE AN ACID ATTACK SURVIVOR'S TEARDROP
Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTi) released a report detailing the use of acid in the supply chains of key industries, including Fashion & Textiles - and their role in the handling, storage & safe disposal of acid.
The report was launched by HRH Princess Anne at St. James’ Palace. To launch the report, we created Tear Couture. A journey inside an acid attack survivor’s teardrop.
We collected and photographed the tears of acid attack survivors, which were turned into a VR experience where people could listen to real acid survivors' testimonials, a live 3D installation of the same teardrop, and tears printed in silk.
At the event, representatives of the fashion and textile industries signed a pledge to to tighten their security measures within their acid supply chain networks and help end acid violence.
