OCAD assignment: Create and illustrate someone’s secret, without depicting the individual. My person was a high schooler taken from an ’80s yearbook – his secret is that he helped his ex-girlfriend pay for an abortion. Not the most light-hearted route, but it’s an issue I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, in light of the United States’ recent decision to cut funding from Planned Parenthood. In my drawing, I wanted to convey the sterile eeriness of the doctor’s waiting room, coupled with the lingering threat from both religious and political entities against a woman’s right to choose.
