In the piece itself I tried to incorporate a few things symbolic of "PinkiTUDE™" and of breast cancer awareness. The central figure is naked except for the hugs and support of others--friends, family, or those nameless who donate to the cause.

She's stepping out into the world to the right (which in English-reading culture is the direction of forward movement), ready to face anything.
