Created for Ripple Foundation, this illustration accompanies an article exploring self-acceptance and the journey of letting go of societal expectations.
The flowing blue hair symbolizes freedom and personal growth, while the surrounding words represent the constant pressures—family, culture, beauty standards—that shape and sometimes confine us.
This piece invites viewers to reflect on the power of living authentically and choosing self-love over external validation.
