Brief : Concept Art designed by ArkhªmHªus for the feature film STALKHER.

Medium : Digital : One of literally Hundreds of Original presentation visuals Created in Adobe Photoshop between 2012 -14 AD --from the films earliest concept stage through to its theatrical release. Originally the shattered reflectted glass effect was intended as a poster unto itself but because a post production photoshoot was fucked by a mildly retarded photograper (I am NOT referring to Daniel Guerra. he did a great job onset) The oval mirror was added to mask the fact that the back of the actors heads were out of focus; rendering any background additions to enhance the poster unviable.
The production comittee had problems understanding why I suggested sodomising the said photographer with his own camera, specifically after they insisted on a bright coloured backdrop for the layout rather than allowing the obvious option of hiding the photographer's error in shadows and darkness (see image to the right). The look of the now labeled Thru a glass Darkly poster ( in reference to the First Epistle to the Corinthians in the New Testament. It covers the subject of "love" which was apt--see below.) was an attempt to emulate a dark Mills & Boon cover (or Pills & Loons as a faux logo was going to suggest) with all the creases of a well read novel added rather than the standard folded poster look. but it was put into the rejected pile soooo....

In Ref. to the artworks title -- Corinthians: 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.13 And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

-- A man is pushed past the brink of his stalking obsession when he finally decides to break into a beautiful woman's home and take what he wants by force. After breaking into her home he wakes up bleeding and bound to a chair in her kitchen and he soon realizes she is not all what she seems to be. The question raised is who will take who by force before the night is through?--

The reason it is impossible to predict who will and won't sexually assault someone is because how these behaviors manifest is a matter of style and preference. One person might choose to be blatant and habitually physically attack others, while another might be more subtle but verbally attack others on a regular basis. The motives are the same, but the style is utterly different. Why it is hard to predict who will and won't use sexual assault. What we can accurately predict is something bad will arise out of these character traits, the When, Where and How are impossible to predetermine.
