Isis Charise started The Grace Project in order to celebrate breast cancer survivors who’d undergone mastectomies. Inspired by Hellenic sculpture, Isis Charise is capturing them in all their glory.

Learn how you can participate, or simply to leave a comment for Isis about the project, on facebook or The Grace Project.

These images display these women’s strength for all the world to see.
