I’ve never drawn my scar before.
It feels quite intimate.
I had to draw it from a photo because I don’t have a large mirror in my flat.
I did it quickly, hasted even.
And now, I celebrate.
The writing says:
Scars
They show our power to heal and overcome adversities.
Don’t hide them or feel ashamed.
Celebrate.






@tannieo powerful* is what i meant to say :( today has been THE worst for typos
I love this watercolor and it’s beautiful message. I always thought it was amazing to be able to look at someone and know that your shared history is mapped out on each others bodies, from laugh lines to scars. Well done!
Thank you. I like the idea of the body as a map from the past :)
