Full of self-doubt and fear, the path of a young woman can be emotionally challenging. And because of the gaze of others that lies on her fragile shoulders, she's forced to keep silent and hide it all beneath the surface.
As she grows, learns, and experiences new things, she digs deeper to discover new aspects of herself, uncover strengths she didn't know she possessed, and gain a sense of confidence that radiates from within.
This long journey of metamorphosis allows her to transform into the person she is meant to be. Her mind freed, she reveals the unshown part of the iceberg.
With elegance, she emerges serenely, stepping out of the darkness and breaking through the surface of the water.
She embraces the empowered woman she is and radiates her light out into the world. Her inner beauty shines through, illuminating everything and everyone around her.
She has learned to love and accept herself for who she is, and in doing so, has led herself to a brighter and more fulfilling life.
