The figure is defined by wide shoulders and large hands, balanced on short, stumpy legs. Its rough, scarred knees tell the story of ruptured skin from repeated “falls.” The weakened muscles of the lower body relate to my vulnerability, limitation, and the persistent struggle to rise.
This body, imperfect yet strong, carries the marks of lived experience — a testament to the subtle power gained from overcoming personal trials.
