In December 2019, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I started my treatment with first chemotherapy on January 2020, September - mastectomy, December - last stage of radiotherapy and ending the treatment process.
There were different times during the course of the treatment, the consecutive days and stages. I made the first frames with enthusiasm, energy and curiosity about the final effect. After a few months, unfolding the tripod was already a challenge.
