Wearing Them (Patreon)

"We wear them; the skin, the burdens, of the past selves, of the beloved people we left behind."

Offered in high resolution to Patrons!

So this started out as a critique of society-enforced circumcision. Then as I was sketching, the character pulling the skin became female-presenting because it just FELT right. Then it became a gender expression study. Then it looped back to female circumcision, and abuse. Then it went back to pulling the skin of the past, as a burden.

All this to say; the message is about wearing the skin of those left behind; including our past selves. The interpretation is up to y'all! :)
