A bride's veil. A tiny piece of fabric woven just so...worn to signify in ancient times purity, to keep the devils and bad spirits from taking a virgin's soul.
A bride's veil, short to signify flirtation, sexual innuendo, playfulness. Aa long veil used to enshroud a woman, a sense of mystere is evoked as attendents await the moment the layer is pulled back to reveal the beaute. So as women, a generation filled with women who fight for equality and recognition, do we don our veil of uncertainty at a proud moment? Why do we hide our true faces from our guests? What secrets are we hiding from ourselves that we wear our veils? What are we afraid of?
