There’s a quiet power in looking someone in the eye and not flinching.
Imperfection is not an apology – it’s a presence. A full, honest being that doesn't need fixing.

The woman’s direct gaze meets the viewer without defense, only truth. Surrounded by soft drips and a loose hood, she’s both shielded and revealed. The background whispers the word Imperfection – not as a flaw, but as a fact of being human.

This piece is an invitation to stop hiding what’s real. To embrace what’s unfinished, cracked, or changing – and see it as part of what makes us whole.

Let it remind you:
You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
