ASPS Meeting Features Breast Reconstruction Art

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons annual meeting took place shadows2last weekend in Seattle. On display just outside the vendor area was “Out of the Shadows…Into the Light,” an art display intended to “expose the physical effects of breast cancer and develop a dialogue about breast reconstruction options.”

The human body is incredibly beautiful, but cancer is not. Created to raise awareness about breast reconstruction options, the Out of the Shadows…Into the Light exhibit shares the experiences of 13 women, 10 of who have battled breast cancer. Their sculptural stories are told through plaster busts, which represent various stages of breast cancer – from none, to one, to both breasts removed.[...]

We wanted to share a few pictures with you, taken by by our web development partners who were present at the meeting and saw the art display.
