Amazos
The term is from the Greek "without breast" for which the term "Amazon" came. Amazon women have been described as having their right breasts removed by cutting them off or burning them in order to become better hunters. They removed a physical limitation to help them better survive.
This is the depiction of a woman who removed a breast to better her survival, a woman fighting cancer, a woman with a mastectomy scar. On the side of her scar she has a poppy and a crow, which represent her recent past.
In dream interpretation the crow is a messenger of imminent change in your life, death, and sadness.
The poppy symbolizes a sacrifice that you need to make, and to learn to let go of your past and look to the future
Caught in the present she looks to the viewer with resolve.
