"I´ll be OK"

"I´ll be OK" is a series of pictures on my interpretation of the thoughts and feelings of victims of sexual abuse.

The amount of reported rapes in Oslo has increased with a shocking 84 % the last ten years. In just the last year the reported assault rapes have more than doubled.

After interviewing two women who have been sexually abused, I photographed my interpretation of their feelings and thoughts. It´s about the shame, guilt and isolation many feel, and about moving on and taking back control over their own lives and bodies.
