Brazilian designer Andre Levy is making a statement about the censorship of nude bodies. And he's making that statement by painting tiny, colorful briefs on random rocks.

You know. Like you do.

Levy says the painted rocks are part of his #OriginalSinProject, which aims to point out the unnecessary hyper-sexualization of nudity.

"These urban interventions catch people’s attention by their playful colours and also point out how silly it is to automatically associate nudity with lust and shame," Levy writes on BoredPanda. "I believe the seed of sexualization of the human body is not in nudity, but in the urge to hide it. That’s why #OriginalSinProject was born."

While random passerby might not fully understand the social meaning behind Levy's artistic endeavors, one thing is for certain:

Rocks wearing underwear is completely hilarious, and should be encouraged by everyone.
