Lily Foster's Story

Writer and director Ewen explained, "The story we’re telling is about a young woman, Lily Foster, who suffered sexual abuse as a child. We see what life is like through her eyes." He continued, "She is very artistic, expressive and musical, so we use all kinds of technology, musical genres and media to reveal who she is."

Art and Video

A related component of the project is an art and video show installed in the ATLAS lobby consisting of 13 paintings by Ewen along with a video running on the ATLAS video wall. The video artwork will cycle through more than 3,000 photos, comments, conversations and interactions from Lily Foster's Facebook page. The Lily Foster art and video installation will run from Monday, Feb. 15th to Wednesday, Feb. 24th.
