Wow, what a wonderful project.
What a fabulous gallery display. This display would be a great oportunity for learning for pr-teen girls. Like my granddaughter who at age 11 already has breasts that she has learned will bounce. Too young! They are growing up so fast these days. I have seen pregnant belly art before and the reson behind this art is excellent. I do hope the 13 year old rethinks her need for breat implants. I'd love to own the book and read all of the stories. I have an aunt that lost a breast to cancer. It's sad one of her p[ieces of art had to reflect this but I am glad she did. Where is this gallery and where can I get the book?
Thank you for sharing that, what a special person she must be. Have to get the book.
Thanks for sharing this. I will share the message and the book with the young girls in my life.
Wow, that must have been very impactful. Although upon leaving, I'm not sure if I would feel better or worse about the body that I see in the mirror.
