In today’s society, more and more girls begin to personally harm and degrade themselves, striving for a “perfect body” that they can never achieve. We all must look and act the same in order to be “beautiful”. Our project aims to show that all girls, no matter what, are beautiful. Each teenage girl feels insecure and self conscious, but if we choose to view ourselves positively, our inner confidence shines through. This project is aimed at teenage girls to support a positive self image within themselves.

With this contrast, we show how dark negative self perception can be and how reflecting more positively on yourself will bring color and confidence to your life.
