Artist Statement (include type of art, techniques & materials used, what it means to you)My name is Mobeen, and my younger sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor (Craniopharyngioma) last year when she was 2 (June 2022). I made this comic for her using canvas, pencils, markers and paint. My sister had surgery and has scars on her head. Sometimes the scars make her upset. I made up this comic about my sister acting as a superhero, whose power is her scar. Her scar shoots magical lasers and takes bad guys away.
Bio (include your age, tumor type and date of diagnosis)I am 7 years old and live in New Jersey. My sister was diagnosed with Craniopharyngioma at age 2.
