The SCAR Project: Breast Cancer Is Not A Pink Ribbon

The SCAR Project: Breast Cancer Is Not A Pink Ribbon | For Art's Sake-1 | Scoop.it

The SCAR Project is a series of large-scale portraits of young breast cancer survivors shot by fashion photographer David Jay. Primarily an awareness raising campaign, The SCAR Project puts a raw, unflinching face on early onset breast cancer while paying tribute to the courage and spirit of so many brave young women.

Dedicated to the more than 10,000 women under the age of 40 who will be diagnosed this year alone, The SCAR Project is an exercise in awareness, hope, reflection and healing. The mission is three-fold: raise public consciousness of early-onset breast cancer, raise funds for breast cancer research/outreach programs and help young survivors see their scars, faces, figures and experiences through a new, honest and ultimately empowering lens.

Alina Szapocznikow: A Body Of Work

Alina Szapocznikow: A Body Of Work | For Art's Sake-1 | Scoop.it

The Polish sculptor would survive the Holocaust, tuberculosis, and breast cancer — only to succumb to her battle with tuberculosis at the age of 47.  Clearly Szapocznikow new pain. But not only pain in the sense of torture, inhumanity, and disease; even pain in the more average range of human experience, such as the dis-ease of exploitation and objectification, are exposed and supposed in her works. And all in a complete range of emotion, from outrage to irony — always with a sensuality that nearly stupefies it is so astonishing.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

Not safe for work (mainly for ads/images on sidebar -- but even nude art is banned most places now), but worthy to see/read.

Body Image In Art, Porn & Media - Sex~Kitten.net

Body Image In Art, Porn & Media - Sex~Kitten.net | For Art's Sake-1 | Scoop.it

Much is written on the effects of porn and female body image. Some complain fearfully of men who will, upon viewing porn, expect all women to have those bodies; others that women themselves fall into this trap and try to emulate such unrealistic things with their own bodies. Of course, these accusations and reservations aren't only reserved for pornographic materials, but magazines, television, any media.

 

And while you may think that I'm going to rant about how stupid this is, how silly it is to believe that people will be so affected by these images that they'd let ~ no force ~ them to be their realities, I'm not.
