Description
Kindness – Care
By Fidele (8 years)
Inspired by her strength and determination in the face of this overwhelming and often debilitating disease, Fidele sees herself as a ballerina, a powerful figure for femininity and grace. She uses the strength of a ballerina, who must balance on her toes for long periods of time, to show her resilience in the face of cancer.
The ballerina is fighting to survive with everything she has. Once those curtains open, she is visible to the world that sits before her, and for that, she gives it her all. It is her way of expressing and relating her art to her everyday battle against cancer. In those treatment rooms, Fidele feels visible and exposed to the needles, the hospital rooms. She is trying to survive with a dance of power and resilience. Her art gives hope to those who might not have had it before seeing it.
