Stand Up; Stand Out

This piece is done on a semi-transparent piece of paper with words wax transferred on to it to give the effect that it blends in, I spray painted the man on it in hope that it would bleed a bit (which it did) to give the effect that the person if blending in and losing to the emotions he/she feels. I wanted the colour of the man the be bold and strong to represent the strength that the person has to fight through being a victim, I made a ribbon scarf for the man to show that he is being held together by hope.
