Artist Statement: Mental Health affects everyone in one way or another, and the fact is, we have all felt alone at some point. Suffering or living with a condition that makes you feel alone can be all consuming, so it’s critical to be reminded otherwise. Putting these messages in public places has the power to impact hundreds of people daily, but more importantly, could be the impact needed even to save a life. I’m honored to take part in this powerful work and hope that this message reaches those who need it most.
