Alternate Venus

I was asked to make an illustration for an exhibition in Brussels' Seed Factory about the representation of breasts and breast cancer in art. I chose to make an alternative version of the Venus de Milo, a statue most famous for her missing arms. However, despite having lost both arms to the ravages of time, the statue remains a symbol of feminine beauty and perfection. 

Because of this, I decided to show an alternate version of the famous statue, with the same compelling feminine stature, but one of which time, instead of an arm, has claimed one of her breasts.
