A human being should attain satisfaction with himself, whether it be by means of this or that poetry or art; on then is a human being at all tolerable to behold.

Having oddity is not a bad thing, it's about changing our perspective within the society.

Inspired by the metamorphosis of a butterfly, this series depicts the process towards achieving unconditional self-acceptance.

This essay reviews the history of “beautiful” and possible explanations as to how beauty standards are the way they are. With the recent changes in how it’s defined and having eliminated the judgmental and selective nature that it once carried, what are the implications for us? For the segregation between the “beautiful” and the “ugly”? Or has the definition even changed at all, or will it remain to be something we all dream for?

Recite to me a quote from a piece which comments on the beauty of brown eyes. Tongue-tied? For years, brown eyes are dismissed by authors, emphasising the contemporary art’s unrealistic beauty standard which afflicts underrepresentation and insecurity towards readers who do not possess features in accordance with the standard. However, there is something mesmerising about brown eyes, shaped like the craters of Mars, in its own amaranthine, natural way which we must awaken to readers.
