“After you” is a series of three acrylic paintings that express the aftermath of emotions I have as a sexual abuse victim. When I was 16 I was drugged and abused sexually for 3 months by an 22 year old man. At this same time a male friend I sought support in sexually assaulted me. I told no one, not even my friends. I took the pain out on myself through my eventual eating disorder. My nieve childlike spirit was forever lost and my view on the world completely warped. I was forced to grow up immediately and force myself into survival mode.
