Thais Borges wears her feelings on her sleeve (so to speak) by Carlos Teixeira for Vogue Portugal May/June 2020. Pain Reveals as Time Does Heal… That the Winds of Change Will Blow Again. Sitting in the shadows of self the light invites us to breathe. This is a story of regrowth. Of personal development. Of coming into our own as we have been sheltered in the shadows of self. This has been a time of real change. Not just the environmental adjustments and revisions. We’ve witnessed a time of true transformation. A Metamorphosis. A Mutation. A Real Revolution has taken place. As we melt into our new-normal, it would behoove us to consider the words used here. Artfully conveyed in both a subtle and strong ways. We see ‘kindness’ projected across her back. The double image of ‘listen’ plays over her face, twice as she stares softly into a mirror. And, finally we see ‘strong together’ conveyed over her couture, in such a way as to portray symbolic synergy. To inspire us to stop and consider candidly, the meaning of such simple words. Wild flowers surround and cover her eyes, a message that speaks to the nature of things out of our control. Veronica Bergamini uses a subtle hand to signal this message of strength.
