Kewpie Mayo, Rue, Age 21
"Hi, my name's Rue!! This is my 5th year participating in Art for the Heat. My piece this year is inspired by my mom's tattoo of a boxer Kewpie doll she got as a representation of me. When I was little, I always wanted tattoos as a way to decorate my body. When I got sick, instead of being covered in artwork my body was decorated with scars (that are just as beautiful as tattoos). When I turned 18, I got my first tattoo of a simple green ribbon to represent my battle. Since then, I've covered my body with artwork for my friends who have passed, for the bands that got me through treatment, for memories and for giggles. My Kewpie doll is a representation of me and all the other kiddos of treatment."
