The body of work consists of a series of pieces that evoke the grief and horror that surround the sexual abuse crisis.

Now, we appreciate “Confess”, a much-needed and monumental piece. It is respectful of the place of the Sacrament of Reconciliation within the Catholic Church.
It reflects a real understanding of confession that we have not yet seen from the Catholic Church. The hope is that this installation will promote communication, a vindication, a search for therapy and healing and a source of hope for survivors and their families.

Very touching exhibit and such an important topic!!! Thank you! It’s great to see contemporary art making tributes to important social/political topics, that is how art is so relevant.

Very beautiful and moving exhibition. Thank you for expressing this issue. Seeing the Children filled me with an indescribable sadness. God Bless.

The exhibit sings a multitude of emotions and is deeply needed for these times.

Haunting, beautiful, transparent. I want to cry.

That’s why this exhibition is so timely. We live in an age when clergy abuse survivors around the world are finding their voices. They are pulling themselves free of guilt and shame, breaking their silence, and bravely calling for transparency about their childhood experiences. That transparency, of course, is also the path to putting a stop to this abuse. It is what all of us survivors are yearning for. And now . . . as for the Catholic Church?

The artist’s word that reverberates (resonates)... and materializes it changes the world. Bravo Trina!

I find it courageous on the part of Madame Trina (artist) to denounce abuses against children; I myself am one of them. Thank you.
