Consuelo Ardila Orjuela from Bogota, Colombia won third place for her artwork titled "Why Me?" Consuelo was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer 21 years ago. "My painting expresses my most profound feelings of grief, impotence and desperation before the shocking cancer diagnosis I received 21 years ago," says Consuelo. "The colors in the background go from cold to warm tones reflecting the path crossed in all the different stages of my disease, from the dark beginning to the achievement of my well being."
