Artist Statement (include type of art, techniques & materials used, what it means to you)
I channeled this song one day when I sat down at my piano. I just felt it, and played it without thinking too much. I felt like it was straight from my heart and my gratitude for living. When I listened to it afterwards I really felt it was a beautiful song and that I am proud of.

Bio (include your age, tumor type and date of diagnosis)
I’m Saji, I’m 11.5 and in February 2020 I was diagnosed with a craniopharyngioma brain tumor.
Sometimes it’s hard to be so different from kids my age. But I also feel it’s made me wiser and stronger and more kind.
