Just ignore them--Blod

Ignore people who say you should dress conservatively because you have the right to wear what you like…you have the right to be bold/unconventional. The way to protect a flower is not to prevent it from blooming, but to let others learn not to harm the flower. So, I drew a hand pinching a flower. The flowers are struggling to get free.

““__Just ignore them___” illustrates the spirit of resistance and confidence we can have when facing contemporary anxieties about physical appearances.”
