Palm away, thumb tucked in. Wrap thumb with fingers in a trapped position. This is the signal for someone experiencing Domestic Violence or who is being trapped against their will and needs help. Likely this person fears for their safety if they were to speak out, but they are asking for intervention.
While this is a real life signal, this piece is meant to spread awareness for those who might witness someone in this situation, or for those in potential volatile situations to know the signal.
The color version is a 1/1 and is meant to be sold and hopefully re-sold. I have been trapped before, needing to start over at an age when I was not prepared to do so. Crypto and art continue to help me find my way forward in this precarious world.
If you or someone you know is in a domestically volatile situation, call 800-799-7233 or text START to 88788.
Stay Safe!
