About The Drawing and the People it Represents

A victim of rape or sexual abuse is actually a victim of multiple crimes. Other than the incident itself being a horrible crime, victims actually had rights stolen from them as well. Every person has the right and ability to feel beautiful and confident and every person should be proud of who they are. With help and time these rights can, and should, be taken back. Taking back these rights and feelings transforms the victim into a survivor.

The transformation of thousands of victims into a drawing of a survivor—a confident, proud, and beautiful woman—is the key concept of the drawing. The people who are represented in the dots will be in various stages of the transformation. Some of the people may have already made the transformation and some may be struggling to move past their victimization. After all, each dot represents a real person with real emotions. But all the dots represent people who have a story of rape and sexual abuse in common. Hopefully, one day all the dots will represent only one type of person, the survivor.
