REFLECTION

Mental wellness message: "Reflection" is a creation whose message is to let one's authentic and organic beauty shine through. Source of inspiration: "We live now, more than ever in a society obsessed with beauty. Constructing one's image has become an imperious and tedious pursuit, dictated by a flood of "impeccable" bodies and faces. They promise a non-existent utopian destination: external recognition and universal admiration. Reminder of good practices: With motherhood, depression, and desertion of offices, for the first time, instead of curating an image, I got to let the natural self take over. I was able to reconnect with my authentic beauty. My "beauty" choices were then made through feelings of comfort and pleasure, and instead of getting "the glow" I unveiled my inner occulted light. That inner glow is more than skin deep, it perspires through each of our demeanors, beliefs and elocutions. Design and symbolism: We are told to approach beauty mathematically, perfect measurements are desirable, just like our pair of earrings set with a mix of perfectly cut diamond and thus perfectly shiny. However their true beauty lies not in a mix and match of brilliance, but in the liveliness, joy and imperfections of its wearer!
