Mumbai: An Italian artist and activist, AleXsandro Palombo’s latest project called Survivor shows images of famous female cartoons and how they would look if they underwent a surgery to remove their breasts. The series portrays iconic cartoon characters like Marge Simpson, Wonder Woman, Princess Jasmine, Snow White and Wilma among others.
Palombo described the series as a powerful reflection on mastectomy and its effects, female identity and acceptance.
“Breast cancer can also affect younger women. The acceptance of your own body mutilated by a mastectomy is one of the devastating moments that is a part of the disease. You must be very strong to be able to react psychologically and accept the new appearance of your own body. My message is one of hope and courage,” Palombo told MailOnline.
