Rodly, Philippines

I love creating — whether it’s art, fashion sketches, or digital illustrations. It’s my peace, my hobby, and my passion.

I’m Rodly, a breast cancer survivor, and I’m sharing my work that represents bold femininity.

My admiration for the female body began in high school. I’ve always been fascinated by its form and strength. Years later, during the Women’s March, I felt a deep calling to portray female confidence and boldness and that’s when this series began that time. I made art pieces during my third year of surviving cancer, and since my diagnosis my fascination with the body has taken on deeper meaning. I’ve grown in awe of my own body.

After the transition to living with one breast and new scars, my creative practice became a space of profound peace and acceptance. I create to surround myself, and other women with imagery that celebrates beauty beyond conventional symmetry. My art tells the story of moving from a teenager’s dream of the “perfect” figure to a woman’s reality of a peaceful, authentic self. 

Hope you like it!
