This piece was made by a poor artist who wants to animate but is too cheap to get ideal programming. Each layer was drawn out, frame by frame it came together. The meaning can represent many moments SA survivors experience throughout their life. The music is not by the cheap artist but the wonderful and talented Sewerslvt, who captured this moment of uneasiness perfectly within each punch of the bass, to which the animation matches the beats of. Feel free to get lost in the loop and definitely listen to the full song to support the inspiration piece.

My motivation for my piece is the feeling of losing oneself and the feeling of losing possession of your own body after it being taking over by someone else to sexual assault of other forceful behaviors and never really being able to feel comfortable in oneself again. My motive for the lady being curled in a ball is no matter what way you turn her she is always curled up from the world sheltering herself as much as possible. I added rough edges to show the women is not contained by a border because healing the mind/body is not linear or a smooth process but like the rough cut of a piece of paper.

I created this piece as a reminder to everyone that consent isn't just cool, it is also necessary. Campaigns that promote consent can get lost in the shuffle of or get easily tuned out by individuals, so I decided to create a piece that would help stand out amidst the noise and remind people that getting consent is one of the most important things a person can do.
