Part of the Breast Cancer Awareness Series - available for exhibition

Working with breast cancer survivors and casting their scars is one of the deepest expressions of my practice, because it transforms something so often framed through fear and loss into a site of love, admiration, and worthiness. These casts honour bodies that have endured, healed, and changed—inviting survivors to see their scars not as damage, but as evidence of resilience and care. Beyond the individual, this work is a way of giving back: to other sisters, caregivers, and children standing at the edge of a new diagnosis, trying to gather the strength to imagine what may come. Medical images are often sterile, overly clinical, and frightening, offering little room for humanity or tenderness. When these bodies are represented as art, however, a reverence emerges—one that replaces shock with curiosity, fear with familiarity, and isolation with comfort—making space for understanding, connection, and hope.
