English Version | "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - unknown

In this case, our eyes. When we look in the mirror and maximize the details of the features we like best. When we distort imperfections to perfectly fit our identity. When we step away from the expectations of others to reveal our most sincere self. When we draw with crooked lines what is ours and only ours by right, when we tear and cut what creates doubts to point out what feeds our self-esteem: the self, without great artifice, natural, in nude tones.
