This is a warm black and white simple line drawing with the words “Embrace your imperfect self” written at the top. In the center of the screen, there are two cartoon characters tightly embracing each other: the smiling character on the right, outlined by solid lines, is gently embracing the self depicted with dotted lines on the left. The dotted character’s head is wrapped in a spiral line symbolizing chaotic thoughts, and its body is covered with patch like marks.
