Cecilie - Breast Cancer Statue is the world's first statue depicting a woman with incurable breast cancer. The sculpture was made by Håkon Anton Fagerås, a renowned Norwegian sculptor, and is located in Spikersuppa, a central area of Oslo. The statue's purpose is to raise awareness of breast cancer and bring attention to those living with terminal illness, especially those who may feel overlooked in discussions about survivorship.
The statue is a tribute to Cecilie, a mother of three, who was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer at the age of 42. It has been donated by Eiendomsspar to the Cancer Society, in collaboration with Norwegian Artists. In addition to the sculpture, a documentary has been made about the project, and life counseling is offered in both English and Norwegian.
