A short comic about the parts of ourselves we try to push away, and what happens when we do. Fighting myself is a futile battle; despite whichever side wins, I always lose. I try to spend more time with what feels ugly and the parts of myself I’m tempted to push away. These are the more difficult parts of me, yes—but also the most beautiful and strange.

This comic was made using Faber Castell colored pencils on 11”x14” Stonehenge paper.
