A World Beyond Perfection fine art print

Perfection is a cage, if an awe inspiring and beautiful one. These two birds long to fly outside with the other birds, who have discovered the freedom to make mistakes, play, and be one with nature. Other birds have been there, but happily returned to the quest for perfection of their own accord.

The yellow and white background beyond the window, a William Morris pattern along with the curtains, contains a mistake. It's made of two pieces instead of just one, showing that little line, that shift where you feel something is off about your pursuit of perfection, when you realize it's unachievable.

The tacit expectation that we should all pursue perfection makes most of us despair, grow resentful, and ultimately give up. There must be room to play and make mistakes on the way. If perfection is desired then the path is more important than the goal...which is impossible anyway.

This listing is for a fine art print on archival matte paper. The print continues to the edges with no border and ships rolled from my print on demand company. To flatten, place a heavy book on top for a day or two. Please choose your size below, either 8, 10, or 12 inches.
