Christopher Ireland, a photographer living in Australia, has turned to art to get the word out about mesothelioma and to show the strength of the survivors. Mr. Ireland photographed 14 women whose husbands died from the asbestos cancer creating an exhibit entitled "Breathe." The images are designed to capture the essence of the men through anecdotes told by the widows.Breathe was featured at the Australian Centre for Photography from July 17 through August 22, 2009 and will next be exhibited at the Latrobe Regional Gallery in Australia from September 5 through October 4, 2009.
From Pool, a website of several Australian artists including Ireland, the exhibit is defined through the following poetic statement:
Asbestos leaves a cruel legacy. In the dread that it engenders, in the pain and suffering it brings to many families, in arrested dreams, in the sheer contemplation of what may lie ahead, it knocks us breathless.
