Not Myself

By Mackenzie Runions, Vanessa Ariganello, Aniko Tao, Lani Starr, Ella, BNM Model Management

We edit, perform, and shrink ourselves in the hope of being accepted and understood. This beauty editorial follows that distortion through four stages. It begins with a fractured reflection, moves through exhausting performance, becomes an unrecognizable mask, and finally breaks free. A journey back to the internal peace that arrives when we stop performing for approval and simply exist as we are.
