Creating mental health awareness through
illustration

Personal Project
Illustration & lettering

Year
2018–2020

These illustrations were born out of my inner struggles with mental health throughout my life. It has never been easy for me to talk about this topic, and drawing is my way to weave these experiences into my creative practice.

Beyond the cuteness of these characters, they bring an essential message of staying aware of our emotions, not feeling alone and knowing that staying present is enough. That it is OK to feel, even if it is uncomfortable now.

Polly the pigeon, Björn the bear & Little Mr Shine Bright are characters to remind you that things will be all right and invite you to take time to disconnect and reconnect with yourself.
