Confidence is not in the eye of the beholder here; the figures in this painting are not reliant on the viewer for their right to take up space. They walk through flowers, the only streaks of pink amongst brown, blue and green, and their body language is strident and unashamed.

“All women are beautiful. We are strong. We are powerful. We are sexy. Our intelligence is the first part of that, but we can love our bodies, too. Let us all have the confidence to believe this, to be proud of who we are.”
