Inspiration

Define being yourself: Is it what the world expects you to be? What your culture of family passes on to you? NO! It's who you are, who we each are made to be. Yes, Woman's Day is a reminder that Woman are equal members of society, who greatly contribute to its function. But it also stands as a day to inform everyone, that you shouldn't be ashamed of who you are. Where would be if Madame Curie was a simple housewife, or if Mahatma Gandhi kept himself shut about the injustice that bothered him?

Being a colored individual, I personally know how struggling is it to have your true identity conflict the values and ideas your surrounded. This painting is intended to tell people that being yourself is to be who YOU are. Not who your mom is, or who Beyonce is.

My desire is for the painting's viewers to gain a sense of pride, that they are wonderfully and beautifully made. Though small, may it be a reminder to all that you can be yourself if remain who you are.

Note: I made the art using Google Sheets, thinking that would count as a front end tool. Sorry if it's not valid.
