Prideful Renaissance MJ Edition Black Spiral Notebook

This piece emerged during a time when I was navigating the overwhelming presence of ego-driven men. I started with what I knew best—graphite—and gradually experimented with the border, drawing inspiration from an image I found on Pinterest. I’d wanted to create this piece for a long time, and when I finally had the perfect canvas, it felt like the right moment. Through this work, I began to understand my place in a world often dominated by male egos. The process of creating this art has deeply enhanced my perspective, challenging me to grow in meaningful and unexpected ways. This marks a bold and spirited response to those experiences, a reflection of my journey and self-realization.
