An Imperfect Man

When I drew this figure, I poured into it the weight of my own contradictions. The character slouches, heavy-headed, not because he is weak, but because he carries the truth of being flawed. His oversized gloves, his tired posture, and his quiet presence mirror the way I often feel moving through life, visible, yet misunderstood.

The words, “Who am I to judge when I myself walk as an imperfect man,” are confessions carved into color. They remind me that it is easy to point fingers, but harder to accept our own fractures. Behind him, I let the spirals of blue wander restlessly across the page, symbols of thoughts looping endlessly, messy but alive.

And at the bottom, the plea: “Don’t let the world shape you. Let go.” That is my whisper to myself, and to anyone who stumbles upon this piece. The world will always try to press you into a mold, but imperfection is not failure, it is freedom.

This artwork is my mirror, showing me not who I should be, but who I am: imperfect, but real.
