Shoshi Charmatz, mother of six, has been battling cancer for seven years. Shoshi attends Ezer Mizion\u2019s visual arts therapy workshop and the artwork she has created is currently on display at Ezer Mizion\u2019s visual arts workshop exhibit. Shoshi\u2019s called her moving work of art \u201cThe Surviving Tree and me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of her battle with the cancer that struck her body, Shoshi underwent treatments in New York. On her way to one of the treatments, she encountered the \u201cSurviving Tree,\u201d a lone tree located near the site of the Twin Towers that survived the 9\/11 terrorist attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy encounter with the tree was powerful,\u201d she relates. \u201cThe tree survived the horrific attack on the city and was cleared from among the ruins. It underwent rehabilitation at a special farm, received infusions of rehabilitative substances, and eventually returned to life and to its original place. I really identified with what the tree had endured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Ezer Mizion\u2019s visual arts workshop, I created my tree, which portrays my journey to recovery with the treatments I am undergoing, far from my family but enveloped in love and filled with hope for growth and full recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEzer Mizion and the workshop have a major part in my recovery process, an island of sanity and creation. They are my miracle.\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
