Labels

Essay

In Labels, Sylvia Jones invites the viewer to approach beauty as a state of being. Not as camouflage, but as the subtle language of self-love. A visual plea to fully embrace the most beautiful parts of yourself—without reservation, without explanation, as a quiet affirmation:
I am enough.

‘Labels’, gecreëerd in Kenia.
Daar zag ik hoe trots en krachtig de vrouwen zijn:
ze lachen veel, houden van hun rondingen
en van het leven.

'Jij bent genoeg, volledig zoals je bent’.
Omarm elk deel van jezelf.
We leggen de lat en de druk voor onszelf soms zo hoog.
Zoals mijn allerliefste hartsvriendin Anneke me altijd zei:
Sylvia, leef voluit! Omring je met wat jou gelukkig maakt.
Maak die droomreis, gun jezelf die designertas,
Laat je werk vallen en trek de natuur in. Sport! Leef!
Voel jij ook die kracht en fierheid in dit kunstwerk?
Wel, hou die vast en voel die tot in de diepste cel van je lichaam.
Jij hebt ze ook, breng ze maar naar de oppervlakte en
SHINE LIKE NEVER BEFORE
