Sylvia Soo and Breast Reconstruction

breast reconstruction: There are the lines left by scalpels where breasts once were, images of breast reconstruction, a tattoo inked after a mastectomy. But New York photographer David Jay also captures another reality for these women. The 30 large-scale photos show tears and laughter, vulnerability and strength, pain and beauty. And for some of them, an expression in their eyes that says "look, here I am, this is what has happened to me." , according to Hamilton Spectator. "I think it's very important for people to see," says Sylvia Soo, 30, of Edmonton, who was photographed for The Project five years ago after undergoing a mastectomy. It's called The Project. But the photo exhibit of young women who have had breast cancer reveals much more than the wounds on their bare chests. Starting Friday, the exhibit www.thescarproject.org makes its first Canadian appearance as part of Breast Fest in Toronto, www.breastfest.ca , an annual film and arts event focused on breast cancer awareness and education.
