The Story of Women with Hearts Full of Hope.
In the face of surgery, stitches, and life’s challenges, the Open Heart project symbolizes women who continue to live with open hearts and full of hope despite the scars on their bodies. It highlights the courage and strength of those who, after enduring pain and surgery, move forward with love and resilience.
Open Heart is part of the Black and White series by renowned German photographer Ralf Schilberg focusing on the inner strength of these women. Despite their wounds, they face the world every day with kindness and love, teaching us to find strength and hope in adversity.
This project carries a message of beauty, strength, and hope, revealing the resilience of the human spirit and the power of fragile yet strong hearts. Each scar and stitch tells a story of endurance and the will to continue living.
Open Heart is a medical project that invites women like me, who have heart stitches, to transform the fear of stitches into an opportunity to showcase open hearts full of life and passion through photography.
