The Petal of Your Skin is an intimate journey of emotion, purpose, action, and the meaning of life. It shows how the human body is so delicate that we can even compare it to a petal of a flower. Even though our bodies are weak and fragile, like a petal, its delicateness to the touch does not define it, while its own inner strength and beauty does.
The goal of this project is not only for cancer awareness but also to generate self-awareness. To be aware of not only one’s own strength, but also one’s own self-esteem, which is something important when someone is going through a difficult process in their life, such as a person battling cancer.
The flowers represent different types of cancer: breast, uterus, colon, throat and skin. The portraits tell the story.
