“The images I’ve included in the collage are the media’s definition of beauty, but this piece is saying: ‘Embrace who you are, no matter what shape or form you come in. Be yourself and don’t let people tell you who you should be. Don’t let them turn you away from who you truly are.’ In high school I used to cry and be insecure because of the ways I was different, but eventually people started to love me for who I was because I started loving and accepting myself. We’re all different; we just need to treat each other the way we want to be treated. Everyone was raised differently, everyone looks at things differently. Let everyone do them. We all have a role to play in life, and together we make the world go round.”
