Woman who has lost her hair after therapy decorated her head with a picture of the cancer gene made from crystals.


Bald woman in chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer with crystals on her head in the shape of the cancer gene. The picture was taken as part of the ‘Headcase’ project giving artists the opportunity to use the lady’s hairless head as a canvas. The picture consists of tiny crystals glued to the skin and is meant to add a humourous twist to the struggle with undergoing medical treatment and the journey to recovery.
