I begin to collect images of Saint Agatha holding her amputated breasts on a platter. Agatha is the patron saint of breast cancer, fires, volcanic eruptions, single women, torture victims, and the raped. She is also the patron saint of earthquakes, because when the torturers amputated her breasts, the ground began to tremble in revenge.
