"I decided to draw a girl who's faceless, except for a percent sign on her face, to symbolize how each woman murdered becomes a statistic. Her hair is chopped off really roughly and the rest of it is tied around her neck. The long hair represents femininity and the fact that the perpetrator is using her hair to strangle her represents the misogyny behind all of these murders.
