From the Stoma series. A stoma - or an artificial opening made in an organ of the body.

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.
