The temporary art installation by Blerta Kambo, placed near the Mosaic of the National Museum, was removed today after fulfilling its main mission: bringing attention to the battle women face with breast cancer.

The artistic concept, symbolically portraying the figure of a woman without hair and with a mark on her right breast, was not a provocation but a reflection of the reality of thousands of women — a real battle that should not be hidden, but recognized, respected, and understood.

The installation did not touch the original mosaic; it was positioned at a safe distance, creating a visual illusion as part of a communication with the public.

In recent days, the artwork has been misinterpreted falsely by individuals with divisive and manipulative agendas, as well as by media platforms that were not informed about its purpose, generating a cycle of disinformation and unnecessary hate speech.

This phenomenon is a clear example of the contemporary challenge of disinformation, which harms art, the public, and especially the women who are fighting breast cancer today.

The goal of this artistic intervention was to give space to dignity, strength, and awareness — not to division or conflict.

As planned, the installation was removed after fulfilling its role: to spark an essential conversation about women’s health and the need for society to stand against stigma, hatred, and misinformation.

Blerta Kambo emphasized:

“When a woman battling cancer reads hateful comments, it harms her dignity in her most difficult days. We owe the women who have fought, the women who are fighting, and the women who are no longer with us a society that does not use them for clickbait, but respects them. Art has a clear role in this: to start conversations, challenge indifference, and build awareness. This installation fulfilled its mission.

Some understood it. Some learned from it. Some misinterpreted it without informing themselves.

This is the wound of our society: disinformation that turns into hate. Today the installation is removed with dignity, but its message remains: let us inform ourselves before we judge; let us choose dignity for women, for families, and for ourselves. Thank you to all who understood and supported this cause.”

The artist thanks the public, the community of women who shared their stories, and all those who supported the true message of this work.
