By Jacklyn Janeksela This is the index finger. it does many things like help me open cans and write. it does many things like judge and hate. it can smooth on lip gloss to make me pretty, then point to a bulging belly. it can twirl a piece of hair, then laught at what i wear. this is the index finger i point at myself. how to make the index more compassionate. how to make it hush its mouth. how to make it more positive.

By Jacklyn Janeksela This is not the devil-it is your mind that creates negativity from an inanimate object and whispers bullshit. this is a long piece of plastic or cloth with printed numbers used for measurement. that’s all it is. it is not an instrument to compare you with a younger, slimmer you; to compare you with certain shit standards of beauty. you are beautiful, your body is beautiful-don’t let this object decide your beauty.

“Frauenrechte” – Women´s Rights – stands for the reduction of women to a sexual object and that women aren´t allowed having an opinion and a point of view of their own in a sarcastic way. 2014 – Collage on paper – Size 21 x 30 cm

We need to take responsibility to help nurture and nourish the dreams of all young girls, to help them to develop and grow into woman that can be independent, make their own choices, and ultimately make a difference to the world! Woman that will weave together our society, and makes it whole, woman that hold families together and thus transfer and protect the incredible wealth of diverse cultural heritage around the world, for future generations. By empowering girls and young woman with education, and skills, we give them an opportunity to be, to grow wings, and to take flight. Mixed media textile instillation: The instillation portrays a young girl ( universal), pulling her dreams with her. With education the world becomes a truly is a magical place.
