Description
-
This book makes the link between cancer in women and the humanities: art therapy, philosophy, economics, technology, etc. The research on this disease is multidisciplinary and it involves all aspects that the patient and the team around him or her must face. For this book, I present six women and 6 different cancers that are pointed on the silhouettes. These women have next to them 6 "humanities" dresses that can help and perhaps protect them.
The piece is made of two books intertwined thanks to a thread, a way to address the relationship between women and science. The books used are worn, this reminding patients who, despite their determination, often are weakened throughout the treatment. I used the collage on the cover: mammography portions of cells that are mixed here in artistic works. -- Artist's website.
