Scar project

The SCAR Project is a series of large-scale portraits of young breast cancer survivors shot by fashion photographer David Jay.
Dedicated to the more than 10,000 women under the age of 40 who will be diagnosed this year alone, The SCAR Project is an exercise in awareness, hope, reflection and healing.
