It's finished! (And so are Quarter 2...and Semester 1...whoa) I did eventually come up with a name for it - it's called Rising Storm. I named it for the "storm" that "rises" whenever a survivor of sexual assault comes forward, as well as the survivor's "rise" against sexual assault and the "storm" of emotions they feel. (It also fits the wild and somewhat confusing nature of the negative space and the many moving hands of the survivor.)
I hope to continue this general feminist theme, but whether I stick with sexual assault or not I still have to decide. The fact that I have never been sexually assaulted will likely factor into my decision. I do have another idea for a piece, but it deals with basically the exact same theme. It would involve a character from one of the stories I've (partly) written, telling her story. I would incorporate color this time; there would definitely be a lot of red, since that's what she wore most of the time before she was assaulted. On the other hand, I may choose to go with a new theme under the umbrella of "angry art" and "female art," although I'll have to think about what that would be.
