To commemorate some of the women who died, an artist and graphic designer has come up with an art installation no one can ignore.

为了纪念一些逝去的女性，一位艺术家和平面设计师想出了一个没有人视而不见的艺术装饰。

Vahit Tuna from Turkey, hung 440 high heels around buildings in Istanbul, a pair for each woman killed by their husband in 2018. The haunting artwork aims to draw public attention to the problem of domestic abuse which is so often swept under the carpet.

瓦西特·图纳来自土耳其。他在伊斯坦布尔一座楼的外墙上挂了440双高跟鞋，每一双代表一位在2018年被丈夫杀害的女人。这幅令人难忘的艺术品旨在唤起公众对隐藏不露的家庭暴力问题的关注。

在市中心人来人往的街道，260平米的外墙上挂满了鞋，这无疑引起了路人的注意，大家纷纷拿出手机把这一幕拍下来。

图纳说这正合他意，因为这件作品本来就没打算给艺术爱好者或是业内人士看，而是为了引起更多普通人的注意。

In some parts of Turkey, it’s customary to leave the shoes of someone who’s passed away outside on the wall of their home. With the same idea in mind, Vahit chose 440 black high heeled shoes, because of how they look and what they symbolise. The artist explained to Turkish media that heels are a sign of independence and defiance, mixing feminine power and agency. He lamented that the women who died don’t have the chance to live independent lives.

在土耳其的一些地方，人们习惯把逝者的鞋子挂在屋外的墙上。受此启发，图纳根据外观和象征意义选择了440双黑色高跟鞋。这位艺术家向土耳其媒体解释说，高跟鞋象征着独立和反抗，又融合了女性力量。他哀叹这些逝去的女性没有独立生活的机会。

‘We wanted everyone passing by the road to see [the work]. This is why we did not want to host the exhibition in a closed area,’ he explained to the media. ‘What this project does is that it both raises awareness regarding women murders and also materializes this issue like a sculpture or monument. This work will stay here for six months.’

艺术家图纳解释道，“我们希望每个路过的人都能看到(这件作品)，所以我们不想在室内举办展览。”“这个项目既能提高人们对女性被杀害的认识，也让这个问题像雕塑或纪念碑一样更加具象化。作品将在这里展示六个月。”
