Ketchum artist Danica Mattia designed these woven reed balls that are covered in pink ribbons with tribute flags with the names of local residents who have been impacted by breast cancer. Eight of the balls were installed on the Boise State quad on Wednesday, representing the one-in-eight odds that a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

Eight of the balls were installed on the Boise State University quad on Wednesday, representing the one-in-eight odds that a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

The public art exhibition is sponsored by the Student Union Fine Arts Program, and the balls will be available for sale for $200 after the exhibition concludes. The Roll Out the Red Carpet for Breast Cancer Research fundraiser is scheduled for Oct. 24 at the BSU Stadium Stueckle Sky Center.
