The silicone life cast of my chest, made of multiple layers of silicone, each a different shade to look life-like, is a wearable sculpture adorned with needles, razor blades, and incisions located where subcutaneous mastectomy (top surgery) would be performed.
I present my inner anguish to the world, hanging from a chain around my neck.
Materials: Silicone, blades, syringes, needles and a heavy chain.
