Mask: Teen Suicide by Amy Little

Mask: Teen Suicide by Amy Little

Teen suicide is a worldwide problem. I've tried to show that most of the bullying that eventually leads to suicide happens over the internet. I've included a list of words spread out over the mask representing what most depressed teens feel as well as representing what they think of themselves: words such as "worthless, unwanted, unloved, hated, pathetic". They're most likely not going to express their thoughts and feelings to other people. Rather they are more likely to keep it to themselves, covering their sadness up with a smile, as if nothing's wrong.

I admire how you brought teen suicide to attention in the "mask". The way you symbolize to causes are unique.

Thank you. I appreciate your effort to look and comment on my work. This issue is always important but I'm glad my mask captures this issue well. Hopefully, people will begin to realize how many teens this affects.

This is a beautiful piece of artwork that reflects the feelings and insecurities of someone who is contemplating suicide. Thank you for making this, I absolutely love it! It's so inspiring and very unique. Keep it up:).
