broken

an illustration prompted by the word, “broken.”

Defined as: “separated into parts […]; in pieces; fractured […] interrupted; incomplete; fragmentary […] dissolved” by the World Book Dictionary, the state of being broken was visually approached as a necessary state for growth, as in the process of seed germination.

our cultural amnesia about sexual assault

an illustration inspired by Alexandria Marzano-Leznevich’s article for lennyletter.com of the same name. The image depicts a figures carrying rocks that ignite momentarily, only to cool and return to stone, a visual parallel to how commitments to end sexual violence often vanish after a brief spark.
