The idea behind the Weapon of Choice Project was to create a visual representation of the emotional damage words can do, in order to spur conversations re: verbal abuse, domestic violence, bullying, and child abuse. Professional makeup artists generously donated their time to the project. The artists applied makeup to each participant to simulate an injury, and the hurtful word chosen by the participant was then incorporated.
