HeARTbreaking ART

Korean artist Ji Yeo took these depressive shoots from ladies recovering from plastic surgery. Her description to the models – they were very emotional.

In respect of plastic surgeries, we care about the before/after; little did we know what goes on during the recovery period. According to Yeo, her models were isolating themselves from their families and friends, and were handling the post-surgical pain alone.

Yeo stated that recruiting these models was no easy task. Given their low self-acceptance (which was why they seek surgical help at the first place), they wouldn’t wish to record the transition period that was brutal to both their physical and psychological well-being. As expected, none of the models were willing to reconnect with Yeo after their recovery.

Personally, these photos are simply more than words.
