From the Stoma series. A stoma - or an artificial opening made in an organ of the body. In the Czech Republic, where this photo series was created, an estimated 20,000 people carry their stoma bags hidden under their clothes. For some, it is a hard-to-accept handicap, for others liberation after long health complications. However, stoma represents a chance for a quality life for everyone, or a chance for life as such. Life with a stoma is a taboo.
