Gold encrusted women encourage body confidence

Icelandic art project The Weird Girls has issued a new film called #EmbraceYourself which features women encrusted in thickly layered gold body glitter dancing on wet volcanic sand with a backdrop of angled mirrors.

The music in the video is the song Dim the lights by CREEP featuring Sia. 

"The purpose of this piece is to promote a message to women to embrace their bodies; women celebrating as themselves and to truly love who they are," it states on The Weird Girls Project website. 

The Weird Girls Project is an ongoing art film series created and produced by conceptual artist Kitty Von Sometime which is created to empower the women who take part.

"Fed up of the media marketing of what a woman’s figure should look like and the effect it had on women imposing boundaries to themselves, Kitty started making these pieces, using the ‘music video’ format to put exposure on the variety of shapes and sizes that make us who we are."

The video was posted up on Facebook this morning with the caption "Happy ‪#‎EmbraceYourself‬ day! If you like it, share it!"
