We found out about this unique artist on Facebook!  A group of friends were all talking about his talent, and the great cause he supports.  David Ilan‘s artform is called pointillism.  He creates entire drawings one dot at a time.  He is a celebrity artist, who has chosen a unique way to raise awareness about sexual abuse and exploitation.

If you have been raped or sexually abused you can join the project here (It’s free), giving your real name or an alias, and have the option of sharing your story. There is also a place in the drawing for people who want to support survivors. David adds one dot for every person who joins until the drawing is complete. The final drawing will be of a woman looking confident, proud and beautiful. By joining the project, thousands of people with a shared tragic experience will work together to form a work of art meant to show others who go through similar experiences that they too can feel confident, proud and beautiful again.

Every person involved will have a dot drawn to honor them.
Up close we see individuals with a story.
From far we see a woman who has overcome and grown.
