Self-portrait in flowers

Skin imperfections such as acne often make us feel not beautiful enough and sometimes just ugly. Using this photo as an example, I wanted to show that, even deliberately highlighting our shortcomings, we can harmoniously blend into the beautiful, be a part of the beautiful, feel beautiful. And actually be beautiful.
