The Alabama Project is an art exhibit that documents moments in the lives of breast cancer survivors from around the state . In the photo series , renowned photographer David Jay illustrates the richness , passion and struggles of each woman ’ s experience . The black and white photos capture the places survivors live , surrounded by friends and family or during quiet moments .
This powerful exhibit has traveled to various institutions across the country , most recently the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center at Loyola University , which hosted a special survivor event around the exhibition . The photos have since returned to their home in the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center ’ s Wallace Tumor Institute , where they are available for viewing by the public .
