I wanted something highly readable, that inflected color from the wall (some yellow hues). The bullets are all around her, but missing her, indicating that she has been gracefully triumphing over those who would hold her down. The single red grenade (the color symbolizing aggression and hostility) below and behind her carries the explosive potential of male violence - yet she minds it not, with a step forward. The titling is in the top left, and the author in the bottom right, so as to carry the viewers eye in a three-point pattern from the title to the author to the grenade across the image.
