The Daily Statistic
The Daily Statistic follows the story of a family, abandoned and reacting, to the loss of a father figure. From anger to sadness, and everything in-between. The stories of the Daily Statistic offer the victim’s perception to trust and betrayal and the desire to stay in that which is comfortable or to do that which is better for themselves while also emphasizing the censorship granted to their perpetrator, reflecting the dynamics of victim-perpetrator relationships.
