Not Through Me is about refusal.

She is small. Unassuming. Easy to overlook. And because of that, she understands something essential: the danger is not the being behind her, but the violence moving toward it.

What has been labeled a monster stands unprotected. She does not. She carries privileges the creature does not have access to, and she uses her body as a boundary. Not because she is fearless, but because she is clear. She will not step aside and allow harm to be justified by fear or projection. If violence is coming, it will have to pass through her first.

This is not protection as dominance. It is protection as sacrifice. A quiet, deliberate choice to stand in the way.

Printed on premium museum-quality matte paper, this artwork preserves softness in skin tones and subtle textures while allowing darker forms to remain grounded and dimensional. The thick, archival-weight paper and vibrant water-based inks ensure clarity, longevity, and a finish that absorbs light rather than reflects it.

This print is for those who understand that refusal is an act of care.
