440 High Heels Installed on Giant Wall For Women Murdered of Domestic Violence

Turkish artist Vahit Tuna has created a haunting installation by placing 440 pairs of black high heels on a wall in Turkey. Each pair on an enormous wall represents a woman that was killed in Turkey in 2018. Tuna hopes the installation will bring greater awareness about domestic violence against women.
