Here she is!! This is my first project not explicitly dealing with the theme of sexual assault in quite some time. I wanted to focus more on the strength of the survivors that have to deal with the aftermath of their assault, rather than the assault itself. The survivor is somewhat battered, with multiple wounds visible on her skin, but her main characteristic is the strength in her gaze and her grip on her dress (her bodily autonomy regained), as well as the storm of hair that practically explodes off her head and covers the page (she is confident and unafraid to take up space because she knows she deserves the right to do so). The dress is large and flowy for the same reason, although the color (turquoise; this will show in the next process post) was chosen more for color schematics than for content reasons; the reddish-orange hair was chosen to represent the fire in her soul at being able to stand up and fight for herself and the aqua was chosen as a complement.
As with my last two projects, I do not yet have a title for this one. Hopefully one comes to me soon, but I have a little over a month to get that figured out.
