2nd Place Winner.
Hidden; out of sight; concealed. Within one in eight women is a small undetectable growth in the breast slowly germinating to the point of destruction. It lays in wait in our mothers, sisters, grandmothers and aunts. For eight years I watched my aunt struggle to become a survivor of breast cancer. Two years ago she lost her war and became a casualty of the breast cancer curse that plagues our times. This piece is a reliquary to the strength, grit and determination of the one in eight. Women who will face or have faced the traumatic battle against breast cancer with unfathomable grace and dignity. Hidden behind one of the eight elements in this brooch is the breast cancer ribbon charm that dangled daily from her charm bracelet.
