The Single Parent Project is a visual PSA exposing the stresses and struggles of single parenthood. Having lived through single parenthood, my goal was to create more of an understanding of the challenges that single parents face.

 

Through interviews with other single parents, The Single Parent Project arose. The faces of stress paired with the direct quotes from the parents interviewed resulted in a 6 piece collection comprised of graphite drawings, and text printed on fabric which was draped over each drawing. This application shows that while the realities of single parenthood are all-encompassing, they do not define the individual.

 

The Single Parent Project was presented in the 2018 UGCRA Research conference and was afterwards displayed in the Wichita Falls Municipal Airport.
