Los Angeles: Transcendence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gallery LECLAIREUR<\/a> Los Angeles presents \u201cTranscendence,\u201d a collection of fine art photography by Giuliano Bekor, through the end of the month. This series of 13 photographs is on display for Breast Cancer Awareness Month to benefit The Foundation for Living Beauty, an organization that emboldens breast cancer survivors with physical and emotional support. Bekor\u2019s photography, according to the exhibition\u2019s press release, \u201cpays tribute to the body\u2019s power to heal, renew and transcend into a state of harmony and bliss.\u201d He does this by projecting images of real breast cancer cells onto nude female cancer survivors who he then photographs. Curator Wendy Posner explains: \u201cGiuliano\u2019s images of cells emphasize beauty rather than suffering, allowing the viewer to see beyond conventional representations of disease.\u201d Photographs will be available for purchase at LECLAIREUR Los Angeles (450 N Robertson Blvd, Los Angeles) until October 31.<\/p>\n

Anywhere: Reconstructed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by filling its cracks with gold. The idea is: that which has suffered has experienced. This experience contributes to the story of the object, making it even richer. It is this concept that inspired \u201cReconstructed,\u201d a series of storytelling and photography that is featured in a book by the same title. For this project, photographer Erez Sabag and Creative Director David Warren collaborated with plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Bank\u00a0to feature 16 women who have overcome breast cancer. Their scars are covered with gold, a symbolic representation of each woman\u2019s individual journey. The book also carefully focuses on each woman\u2019s personal story. Featuring the external scars of an internal battle highlights the idea that the adversity we endure makes us even more beautiful. The book is available online<\/a> now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
