AUTHENTICITY
– FULL SERIES AND BEHIND THE SCENES
Stepping away from the standardised Beauty Industry to embrace inclusivity.
The definition of ‘authentic’: the quality of being real or true
– worthy of acceptance or belief
– true to one’s own personality, spirit, or characteristics
– not a copy of anything else
Basically, it comes down to:
“we are all different, we are all human. And therefore we are the same“.
Words from the photographer Michelle.
“The black represents the Yin in us (our feminine) and the white the Yang (our masculine). The black represents our shadows, and the white our light. The black our chaos and the white our structure. The black our intuition (how heart led we are) and the white our logic (the ways in which we are led by our head). Each and every one of us are made of these contrasts, because we are all made of the same material – we are cut from the same cosmic cloth.”
We are not one or the other. We all contain the spirit of both ying and yang. Black and white.
