The intent of “Different But Beautiful” is to show people that no matter their race, religion, or socio-economic status, they should always invest in self-empowerment. Furthermore, the theme of diversity extends beyond merely appreciating one’s own individuality. It is also appreciating other people’s diversity, a theme that is still challenging for the modern world. This piece is not necessarily a technically advanced piece, but I was able to create an illustrative design that shares a message with my community.
