The SCAR Project is a series of large-scale portraits of young breast
cancer survivors shot by fashion photographer David Jay. Primarily an
awareness raising campaign, The SCAR Project puts a raw, unflinching
face on early onset breast cancer while paying tribute to the courage
and spirit of so many brave young women.
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. The mission is three-fold: raise public consciousness of early-onset breast cancer, raise funds for breast cancer research/outreach programs and help young survivors see their scars, faces, figures and experiences through a new, honest and ultimately empowering lens.
