Interesting change to the Medusa.
I've actually a fondness for the mythos. She was basically a prostrate servant of a god that was assaulted for her beauty then punished for it. Thereafter dwelled in solitude and turned any man who trespassed into stone by a mere look.
The rather literal analogy for rape and the lasting effects on the psyche are interesting.
The fact that you've gone from a very aggressive expression to a more solemn one make for an effective conceptual piece.
