Perspectives Shortlist

In Denmark, one in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. In June 2024, the photographer became part of this statistic when she received the news that the small lump she had discovered was in fact cancerous. As a self-portrait artist, and being used to processing things visually, she chose to photograph her way through this experience, including the feeling of losing her sense of self and her femininity. Her hope is that sharing this experience can raise awareness, spark conversation and help reduce stigma around breast cancer.
