"Cancer took my grandmother's life 4 years ago and I was devastated because we were very close. Then, cancer then took my mother's life just 4 months ago and I was lost.  I knew I needed to use art as therapy to constructively deal with my overwhelming sense of grief. After exploring the physical and spiritual aspects of cancer, I felt the heavy weight of depression settle in like a dense fog and needed to investigate the question, "What does my grief look like in 3D form?" My AP portfolio is a visual record of these investigations and expresses my thoughts and feelings during this difficult time in my life." - Frederico
