This graphic short story is dedicated to Mimi who once said: “Sometimes I feel like a blank canvas. Sometimes people leave beautiful colours, and sometimes they leave terrifying ones. So sometimes I wonder what kind of person I really am.”
As kind-hearted people, we often turn inward when faced with the malice of others, questioning ourselves instead of the source. But the truth is, our colours are ours to define. This story was created in the hope that we can learn to protect and cherish ourselves, to escape the meaningless judgments of the outside world, and to paint our own self-portraits in the space that belongs to us.
