That escalated quickly.
It is about rape, so yeah. The telling of trauma is intentional.
Oh ok, I see it now. It seemed abstract at first glance.
Totally. It is a bit abstract, or perhaps Dada or Surrealism inspired. It could be said that trauma is baked into those movements.
Sometimes to properly show the horrors of the real you have to leave the real behind

It's considered surrealist by which ever groups of Art History PhDs who decide these things

My first look was similar. But after reading the comments and looking again, it became more obvious to be about rape.
That's what I said, in the comments.
I'm agreeing with you.
Sorry, I misinterpreted your comment. Cheers.
