Imperfectly Perfect

[Honorable Mention in Scholastic Art and Writing 2019]

Pencil Drawing, Procreate (HB Pencil Brush), 2019

For a while, I treated my face as a collection of features to be revised, wishing to dissect and erase the parts which I felt insecure about; eye bags, moles, asymmetrical features.  But, as this series symbolizes, I’ve since realized that true beauty is not a machine-perfect collection of body parts. Imperfection is human beauty, and as an artist, that is what I embrace.
