Wet Paint

TW: unwanted physical contact, sexual harassment 

There are so many elements of this piece that demand your attention. You’ll first see her, of course. Her beauty is such that cannot be ignored. But did you stop to wonder at her story before you wondered at her figure?

When we see the warning of “wet paint”, we keep our hands off of it, because our mistakes would mark us in our obvious painted-on punishment.

I wish we could guard our bodies in the same way. In a way that people would listen when we say “I don’t want you to touch me.”

So imagine if she were wet paint. Imagine if we were all wet paint. How clean would your hands be?

I wish for a world where it is the wrongdoer, not the victim, who is marked by their actions. Where the actions slide right off the acted-upon and they can feel unmarked, clean, and free.
