Lilly Oncology on Canvas (LOOC) has provided individuals affected by cancer with an opportunity to share their stories through art and narrative. Since its founding in 2004, in partnership with the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, thousands of LOOC participants have been inspired to share their journey with countless others.

The artist chose to show cancer as a balancing act between mind and body. The artist is now cancer-free, but informs the viewer that the balancing doesn’t stop once one is free of cancer. Each CAT scan, twitch of pain, or thought can put a survivor out of balance but they just have to remember to rebalance themselves after doubt pulls them down.
