the dKol la femme project: anonymity

You are so used to being identified and known for what or who they think you “are”… are you your job, are you your disease, are you your abuse, are you your anxiety, your gender, your body, your looks? Your answer to this question doesn’t matter because really, you are what they choose to define you as today, likely to be different tomorrow. But, you know that you are not defined by what you do, or how you look, or any one single thing that builds the package that is you. The pressure of creating definitions, and attempting to fit pieces of you into varying small little boxes feels like too much to handle. You’re left standing there holding pieces of yourself that have no place wondering where these “you’s” belong.

Ever just wonder how it would feel to simply remain anonymous? There is a certain level of comfort, and freedom that comes with being unknown, label-less, undefined by those around you. Close your eyes and imagine. It is almost that feeling of being a fly on the wall, yet you’re the main subject without anyone even knowing. Who is she, who is he, who are they, that mysteriousness, that liberation. Being anonymous relinquishes that pressure from other watching eyes. Through anonymity, that overwhelming fear of outside judgement just vanishes, and you are free. Free to express everything you’ve ever wanted to say, to be everything that you’ve ever wanted to be. You choose how people see you, you define what and who you are. The fear is finally gone now, and you can breathe in the relief of freeing yourself from labels. You are now the generalized you; the you that is not defined by any single element or physical embodiment of yourself. But instead, you are the spiritual you that personifies everything you’ve always felt inside of you gelled together to form one solid mass. Now open your eyes {unspecified} and tell the world who you are. 

Sincerely,

The dkol la femme project is a platform created to give a voice to you and your unique struggles by telling your story through art. la femme is where vulnerability meets liberation. What is confidence and empowerment to you? What is VULNERABILITY, and how does it affect you? You, as in the generalized you, the one that isn’t gender specific, or defined by your struggle or labeled by medication. OR maybe you are and want to advocate so your story is heard (insert dKol la femme). At la femme you are allowed to free yourself of the need for perfection. Here you will evoke your self-confidence and take pause so you can reflect on your soul.
