Survivors is a series of portraits of women who have suffered or are suffering from breast cancer. In all cases, the images were taken using the wet collodion technique, resulting in ferrotypes or ambrotypes in a 4×5-inch format, which were then scanned and left unretouched.
The images are raw, without makeup. They cruelly show the devastation of breast cancer, but they also display the strength of the individuals. The way the collodion is distributed on the support makes each image unique, just as each person’s journey has been unique.
Unlike the digital format, the image becomes unique, unrepeatable, tactile, and perennial, never ephemeral. It remains in the memory to raise awareness that this type of cancer is also a silent pandemic and that public policies are not enough to raise awareness. Each portrait is a symbol that calls for self-care.
