Lastenklinikoiden Kummit Ry (The Association of Friends of the University Children's Hospitals) organised a campaign to raise awareness and to collect funds to help children with anxiety and other mental issues.
For the campaign they first asked children to try and describe their anxieties in written form. These texts where then given to 10 different finnish artists to visualise.
I tried to visualise the following:
”I’ve been bullied since pre-school. No one even looks at me. It feels like I don’t exist. In the evenings I just want to go to bed. Sometimes I’m too afraid of the following day to fall asleep.” - Girl, 9 years old.
