The center text is an excerpt from Chanel Miller's statement to Brock Turner in court. It is a powerful reminder about the violence that women endure and our justice system's failures. The wrapped text is a quote from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. When I read Miller's letter, I immediately thought of one of my favorite quotes. All of the irrelevant questions thrown at Miller are yet another way of keeping women in the margins. Atwood's comment on how women are forced to adapt to this status and inequality indicates this.
