Empowering women to believe in themselves.

All women are equal, just as special, just as important - despite the age, skin colour, body shape, life circumstances, cultural background. This series shows that everyone is beautiful and meaningful in their own way, just as they are. The aim of this project is to encourage women to find the power and the belief in themselves and their self-worth.
