It’s going to take this young artist a long time to preview himself in a beard, but consider this:

• his sculpture isn’t saving his face’s data for God-knows-what reason and selling it to “3rd parties”
• He doesn’t know what “looksmaxxing¹” is
• He doesn’t see social media images that plummet his body image into a chasm of self-loathing

Just because it’s new, doesn’t mean it’s progress.

¹I know what it means: it’s when you look in the mirror and quickly say, “I look smashing²!” and walk away satisfied.

² Say, “look smashing,” then “looksmaxxing.” Haw, haw, haw. Now your day is better.
