Faiza, ArtCan by Jijulal

Faiza is a force of nature— she embodies the wind that flows in the direction of wilful forethought. Faiza moves her fingers in wedges to detect any strange mass on her breasts. From the foliage surrounding her to the hem of her saree, this intentional exercise in self-care encourages everything around her to envelope her in a warm embrace. 

These are stories of real breast cancer survivors. Your purchase will help provide financial assistance for the treatment of underprivileged cancer patients. 100% of the proceeds will go to The Apollo Cancer Foundation (ACF). Read Faiza's complete story here.

Note: All of these artworks are available with frames and the quoted price is inclusive of the frame.

Faiza

The Seeker of Truth

Relentless, like a river raging through a rocky gorge. 

Unstoppable, like an erupting volcano. 

The seeker of truth and justice. 

Never wavering, never yielding. 

She isn’t just a journalist, 

But the nation’s icon of truth. 

She has broken story after story, 

Unearthing stories of exploitation, 

Bringing the powerful to their knees. 

She never buckled before money or power, 

Never gave in to threats or intimidation. 

She went to great lengths in the search for truth, 

However obscure or scary it seemed. 

That’s how she exposed her body’s secret too. 

It started as a rash on her right breast, 

She knew the truth behind it was scary. 

Yet, she decided to go in search of it. 

She stood in front of the mirror, 

And found a red patch. 

It radiated outwards from the nipple.

She glided her fingers over her breast.

She found a few lumps around the armpit.

The truth snarled at her from the mirror.

It threatened to shake her world to the core.

She took a deep breath and stared back,

And felt the thrill of chasing the truth again.

She was determined to bring cancer to its knees.

A few months have passed.

An auditorium packed with an energetic crowd.

They clapped as Faiza walked to the stage.

She would soon be the youngest person to receive,

The highest journalism award in the country.

With firm steps, she approaches the podium.

To make that address that the crowd waited for.

“I dedicate this award to truth,” she starts.

“My quest for truth has saved my life,” she adds.

"Step 5 – Check for lumps, swelling, and thickening in the breast by moving your fingers in wedges. "
