Trance Warrior

Artist Statement by Maro Hagopian

TRANCE WARRIOR

A few months ago my Mother was diagnosed with skull cancer. I had a very difficult time handling this news. In fact I shut down socially for weeks unable to leave my Brooklyn apartment.
I finally got myself together and took a bus upstate to see her. I was scared I would completely break down in front of her cause she was losing her hair and her head was burned from the radiation. I was concerned I would not be able to be strong out of my own fear of what she was embarking on.
When she picked me up at the bus station who I saw was not a victim or patient with cancer. In fact the opposite was true. Her shaved head and sporadic bald patches on her head made her look like a warrior.
From her I felt this overwhelming feeling of optimism and faith. I realized my Mother was a survivor. That her soul was everlasting and her heart was fierce. That she was a fighter in the true sense of the word.
This photo means a lot to me because she trusted me to take it and it captures the feeling I felt when I saw her in her first weeks of radiation treatment. That life is a state of mind and you NEVER give up no matter what challenges your faced with.
Courageous Warrior
Conquers Cancer
I see Strength
I see Heart
I see You.

By Daughter Maro.
I finally figured out how to post this Artist Statement from my lovely Daughter Maro. This is the greatest gift of truth, love, openness of the heart. I will treasure forever.

Practicing

Harry was there helping me pack the house up. I was choosing what to take and what to leave. The dryer buzzer went off, he said I'll get them and fold clothes for you. We seemed to be in a hurray. The house was dark and gloomy. I remember breakables in a box with towels on top. Then I said to him, you better come and get me. Thinking when its time. He took my hand and we were walking together.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Do I have a message for the New Year? I slept through New Years celebration.
All I know is the ultrasound could not find my ovaries. That was a little disheartening. At least I know why the "thrill is gone".
But something has replaced it. A different kind of juice. A freeing up of outdated and over worked posturer. Bald is beautiful. A New Day, a New Year. The inner shelf life shall be celebrated, blessed and expressed.
..perhaps 2009 will turn out to be a joke. Like the jokes on us. Laugh! its only temporary.
Don't buy into economy fears. It is only a game. Don't play it and do not believe in those who say nay.
This year is a power number 11. Expect only miracles. AND THAT'S THE TRRRUUUTH!
ok I am whacked!
