LIFE MODELS

In this project, I contributed by creating illustrations used in the case study video and later exhibited in the gallery.

Life Models takes a life drawing class and turns it into a rupture. In a space guided by silent standards, a body shifts perception: a woman who, after a mastectomy, chooses not to reconstruct, affirming her presence beyond any imposed ideal. The act of drawing changes. It is no longer just about form, but about perception — confronting the same standards that so often lead women to reconstructive surgeries without alternatives such as AFC being presented. From these lines emerge 30 artworks, brought together in an exhibition in New York, where different perspectives meet: patients, doctors, specialists, and the public. Documented in a short film, the project moves beyond the medical field and into culture, where art does not merely represent, but questions, expands, and transforms.
