Reconstruction
This series is about women who had breast cancer and decided to use tattoo as part of or all of their reconstruction. It’s about beauty, strength, and healing. Each and every one of these women is a survivor and also a heroine. Their courage is beyond words. I am forever grateful to them for being a part of my capstone project and the solo exhibition that followed.
