10:37

10:37 is a short confessional graphic novel project focusing on themes of sexual assault, repressed memories, and carving an identity following a traumatic event. Inspired by Beach House’s song, 10:37, it is a personal reflection that deals with flashbacks, and repressed, painful memories resurfacing within a minute of time, between 10:37 and 10:38. This short graphic novel explores the difficult topics of sexual assault, intoxication, and loss of innocence. This is a piece about finding an identity following a traumatic event, female empowerment and resilience. This experience has been a traumatic event that comes up every now and again as repressed memories and flashbacks throughout everyday life. The role that this trauma has played in my life has been difficult but physically expressing these repressed events has helped me carve an identity as an individual, artist, and young woman in society.
