Does the Buddha you visualize always has to look the dame?

As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

      When I try to visualize the Buddha above my head, he/she will appear above my head and also on a lotusthrone but sometimes as His Holiness, sometimes as Tara and sometimes as my teacher.
      Is that a problem ?
