2024 Self Portrait

"Stay weird, So what, they hate you, Their world can't contain who you are." — Funeral Portrait

This was a personal piece I made over the 2023 winter break as I was struggling with self doubt and anxiety. I read this powerful novel: "The Courage To Be Disliked" by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga I made this rare self portrait to help process that my fears were from myself and I was holding myself back.
