I have had a solid aversion to flaws since childhood, especially in my creative endeavors. Even within the confines of my own artistic expression, messy lines, lopsided shapes, and disproportionate forms made me feel uneasy. However, going through a transformational journey led me to appreciate the inherent beauty hidden within flaws. "Dishevel" reflects this transformation, exploring the charm of imperfection, a testament to this personal evolution. Through this creative endeavor, the artwork conveys that perfection is not the only standard of artistic merit; instead, there is a profound and captivating allure in the unplanned and spontaneous. This artwork encourages embracing imperfection, celebrating the organic, and discovering the unique beauty within disorder.
