The SCAR Project, David Jay's Breast Cancer Survivor Photos

Breast cancer and the I-Word (inappropriate)...
The SCAR Project, photographs of women who are on the other side of breast cancer and have the scars to prove it. "What my girls couldn’t handle in the flesh, many adults were uncomfortable with even just on paper. Jay’s photos, I learned, were deemed to be too real, too honest, and to show too much. There are nipples. There are lack-of-nipples. There are the curves of a woman’s shape. There are the glaring absences where a woman’s shape should be."
