Cristina Zenato Instagram – “Authentic”
Merriam-Webster word of the year for 2023 is “authentic.”
In an age of deepfakes, post-truth, and artificial intelligence, when full accounts are made up by virtual people who live artificially created lives, when we question authenticity, we value it even more.
I decided a long time ago that my images and posts would be authentic, representing my life and how I look, with no filters, no smoothing of lines, and no changes in who I am and what I do.
My images come with shadows, wrinkles, and the rest, my body comes in its natural shape, in the moment, with messy hair, and unchecked blemishes.
Authenticity is missing from our lives, and we crave it now more than ever. I hope more will join in showing their true selves, sharing their unfiltered faces, and reducing comparisons with an unattainable reality to live lighter lives.
Celebrating authenticity with these images wearing the designs from @goghjewelrydesign dear friend, and sea sister in the @wdhof.
Szilvia makes her pieces one by one and promotes them using images of friends and clients of all ages and looks wearing them; she never uses models.
When I sent her the images of me wearing her pieces, I told her, “ They come with shadows, wrinkles, and the rest,” she replied, “ That is how I want them, authentic. “
