In my own words
The project closest to my heart, and the hardest one to talk about without a lump in my throat. Women living after gynaecological cancer, photographed with their scars — not as wounds, but as proof of survival.
We worked with Dr. Magdolna Dank's oncology team and with the psychiatrist Imre Csernus, because this could never be only about pictures. For many of the women, standing in front of the camera was the first time they had really looked at their own body since the surgery. One of them called it a farewell to the past and a bow to the future. I have never forgotten that sentence.
Since 2018 the photographs hang permanently in the Oncology Centre in Veszprém, where people waiting for treatment see them every day. That means more to me than any prize I could ever be given.
