Deflowering
12in x 8in Watercolor Paint on Block Print December 2023 Exploring the issue of sexual assault of children, this piece breaks the silence of a far too normalized issue prevalent in societies. The tiger lily floating above her hands symbolizes her virginity through a common cliche, “deflowering”. A broken girl symbolizes the mental and physical toll this issue creates. Experiencing this firsthand, I found it important to address this issue. In a different medium, this is inspired by the mural on the Waterloo Bridge, conceptually and compositionally. |
