Taylor, as you know, I have liked your idea all along. The repetition of the same figure in all these different guises makes your meaning very clear, but in a non-literal way. While I think the figures themselves look great (the shadows and highlights look very convincing), I think you have some compositional issues to resolve. The first is that, given the ample space above the figure, I think there should be more space at the bottom under her feet. The way you have it looks awkward to me. That would be easy to fix. Next, I'm not even sure you need that tree in the background. I think the compositions would be more striking, more emphatic, if it were just the figures in the center. I would suggest trying a number of different things back there, including just having a subtle gradation of green. And then, finally, there's the placement of the words. While "whore" and "silence" make sense to me, the first two seem arbitrary. And I'm not sure why that text is larger. I prefer it smaller, as it is in the other ones. I'd like to see you rethink all these things. And I'd encourage you to continue with this series on your own. This is the kind of thing that just gets stronger the more variations you have.
