ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The photo captures the pressure women face to age flawlessly, a challenge that extends beyond contemporary society. It reflects the struggle women experience in accepting the changes that come with age—acknowledging that they won’t remain youthful, free from wrinkles, scars, or imperfections in hair and skin. The model, a woman who had never agreed to be photographed before turning 70 due to her difficulty in accepting these realities, has finally embraced her true self. The vintage costumes evoke a sense of connection not only to women of today but also to those from the past. Her posture is straight and composed, embodying a sense of calm acceptance of both her journey and what lies ahead.
