Original Proposal

Original Proposal The Design Jacinta develops the Renewal Centre from sketches, sensory rooms, site plans, and grant applications. Her initials appear consistently in the project record. The Vulnerability Although the work is documented, institutional ownership allows the Colt Foundation to detach the project from its creator. The original proposal becomes the buried source of the authorship conflict.

Program Erasure

Program Erasure The Document The gala program names the foundation, Celeste, and Cassandra’s event direction but omits Jacinta. The document turns authorship into a public fiction. The Conflict Jacinta recognizes that the omission is not a typo because the pattern continues through the walkthrough and the stage presentation. The fight over credit becomes inseparable from the fight over mental credibility.

Red Dress Witness

Red Dress Witness The Public Frame Jacinta stands at the back while her building glows on the screen without her name. Beatrice’s speech turns her into an example of incapacity. The Counterimage The red dress, initially used to mark her as conspicuous, becomes a visual emblem of refusal. She leaves upright rather than performing gratitude. Authorship survives even when the ceremony denies it.

Public Attribution

Public Attribution The Statement Aaron publicly names Jacinta as the Renewal Centre’s designer and explains that the erasure occurred under his watch. The Correction The program’s false authorship is replaced by a record that identifies both the work and the people who removed her name. Credit becomes an act of accountability rather than a ceremonial compliment.

Credit Charter

Credit Charter The Rule Jacinta writes into the Haven House charter that the women using the gardens will have their names attached to everything they make. The Institutional Answer The new organization does not rely on individual goodwill. It builds recognition into its structure. The old authorship conflict is resolved by changing the system that made erasure possible.
