Artist's Statement

This piece of art is meant to represent the support of women fighting against breast cancer. The media used are tissue paper and photographs. I took all of the pictures myself, and the women are supposed to symbolize breast cancer patients and women fighting for the cure. I also took the pictures of the flowers, which represent women. The pictures surround the breast cancer ribbon, which is made out of tissue paper. Breast cancer is a huge problem that many suffer through. Therefore, I created this artwork in honor of breast cancer patients.
