<Leftover> is a photography series of used radiotherapy masks collected from three different hospitals. The masks hold traces of the people who wore them and smell like fear that was and still is. Tammi collected and photographed over three hundred masks of which a selection of 27 is presented in the book. Award winning series <Removals> shows some of the most common diseases a few minutes after the surgical operations, captured in the corners of operating rooms, at two hospitals in Finland. The series questions if beauty stops at the skin leaving everything underneath disgusting but also removes the other, the suffering patient, leaving the viewer with the bare disease. The photographs are accompanied with a dialogue of three surgeons talking about the photos. "Leftover/Removals" is a double book that combines both series into a parallel story.
