Deconstruction is a four-part collaborative multimedia art project chronicling Joyce Mallonee’s 25-year journey with breast cancer. Conceived by Joyce two years prior to her passing in 2020 - and brought to life by her son, filmmaker Alex Mallonee, along with seven contributing artists - Deconstruction uses creativity and humor to engage and inspire cancer survivors and their loved ones about living with and honestly talking about the disease.
