Overview

Body of Evidence crosses boundaries between story and confession in a haunting speculative collection that confronts the aftermath of gendered violence by blurring the divide between fiction and nonfiction. Speculative fragments and nonlinear prose explore what remains unspoken in trauma's generational echoes. Avoiding graphic representations, Aimee Parkison examines how violence reverberates through communities and individual consciousness. Structured as exhibits in a case file, this hybrid mosaic challenges traditional storytelling to make invisible wounds visible. Each piece functions as both artistic exploration and cultural investigation, questioning how silence operates in survival. Through the constraint of compression, Body of Evidence demonstrates how micro narratives can serve as witness and testimony.
