Just like that my body and the planet aligned
Leticia Suarez
“With no words left in my brain during my cancer treatment, I found myself drawing my experiences and feelings. I found myself communicating to my loved ones my chaotic state of being through graphite lines over paper. Getting a cancer diagnosis can take away your logical thoughts, take away the ability to think straight and elaborate ideas comprehensible to others. Thus, throughout my treatment, I found myself drawing in my sketchbook, my passages and moments of despair. This is a small collection of episodes and feelings that I experienced during those painful months of treatment and uncertainties."
Leticia Suarez presents her new exhibition - drawings and illustrations that tell a visual story of emotions and episodes throughout her breast cancer treatment.

Leticia Suarez
Leticia Suarez was born in Colombia in the 1980s, moved to the USA in 2004 to be an exchange student for a year and decided to stay to pursue her BFA degree with a concentration in industrial design. She worked as an industrial designer for 9 years, before moving to the UK in 2019 to pursue a MSc in Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Design. Now based in Skipton under cloudy and rainy skies, she realised that all she needed to do was to stay still for more than a minute and be an artist. Art saved her mind, and a rhythmic mind allowed her body to heal itself.
