Thank you to everyone who contributed.

The thoughtfulness and skill present in each artist's work created a detailed visual representation of the importance of preventing sexual assault and the harm sexual assault brings to others.

white background with black text reading “Thorns among dandelions, I’m a rose not a dandelion, She is soft and sweet, Like honey that melts and drips in the mid-summer morning, She has eyes like selenite and hair that flows with grace and power as that of an untouched stream. I am not a dandelion. I am a Rose. Beautiful though as my thorns are sharp, My thorns wear a velvet red robe, A trinket from those who failed to damage my stalk. My bud is not bloomed, But cowered in hesitance, Unable to give myself to you for fear you will see through the damaged blossoms that makes me. I was not always a rose. Once I was an untouched dandelion with the sparkle of every star in my dark brown eyes. Once was so long ago I can hardly remember it. When I see the rabbit who damaged my petals I can’t help but see just as red as the velvet that coats my thorns. Her innocent gild covers her true intent. Remembering when she ravished that innocence that was once was mine. It’s not fair, To be a rose, untouchable, unloveable, unreachable. But a beautiful rose I am.”

A white background with black text reading ". You think to yourself, what in the world was I thinking? Lavender. It is a feeling that you, experience when you feel like, something is missing from your life, but you do not know what it is. Perhaps, it could be the loss of, your childhood when you start, wanting to be old enough. Enough to drive, have your first kiss, drink a glass of Chardonnay, by the fireplace, or live on your own. You do this until you realize that, you wished most of your teenage, years away. Perhaps, it could be the loss of, your innocence that someone, snatched form you. Lavender.”
