Shadow Prison

This is a drawing that my friend titled Shadow Prison for me.


The dark shadow above ground will always represent my rapist, and I'm usually the only other in the drawing, but in this one I have two shadows comforting my shadow. I can't explain well what's going on in this, but if I'm asked I will try. It was a complicated thought, even while drawing it.

Common details in my drawings that might not be too clear:

  • Shadow man is my rapist (surprise, I already said that)
  • I'm the girl in the dress (I really like dresses)
  • There's cracks in the earth or paper or whatever
    • These cracks have barbed wire reaching out of them and around me
    • Often times I'll leave a shadow of blood where the barbed wire touches me.
That is all.
