Mixed Media 2014 My Bra's Secret is a play on the brand "Victoria's Secret". It tells the story of the secret that the bra holds of each of the wearers who donated it from wearing it to Vegas to finding out she has breast cancer to wearing it to nurse her baby. Bras are an uncomfortable under garment that most women must wear and it holds the life stories of the breasts held within it.
