Kira and the colours of life

Photo © Paula Hietaranta 
 Our sweet Kira Gluschkoff opened yesterday evening her Everyone is Art photo collection at Luova gallery. The colourful pictures of the Finnish women who have fighted against the breast cancer and tell their encouraging stories are a part of the campaign Pink Ribbon for Breast Cancer, ordered and supported in Finland by Samsung.
The women pictured here are veiled in colourful tulles with the objects or symbols that helped them during the painful process. Here you see one which is Kira´s favorite, too: Anneli Jäätteenmäki in a pose that reminds us from Libyan Sibyl by Michelangelo, showing the vulnerability of flesh and the strength of mind at the same time.
You can see the photographs at Luova until the Christmas 2010. The exhibition is open from Tuesday Friday from 11-18, on Saturdays and  Sundays from 11-16. The address is Albertinkatu 16, Helsinki 12.
But where do the pictures go after that? Would it be a good idea to give them to the hospitals all around Finland to bring hope to the women coming there for breast cancer treatments?
