Mind Warrior
Finland
I´m a traumatised person who has had mental health issues for approximately 25 years. I´m trying to lead as happy a life as possible and to fulfil my dreams the best I can, just like healthy and non-traumatised people do. I think I have the same right to do that even though i am sick. I wish everyone had the right to have a good, happy life without any extra suffering. That is what I think.
The artists' stories
"The Vibrant Mind" is an art contest that celebrates artistic expression from individuals with mental health conditions. By focusing on the artists' work rather than their various diagnoses, it hopes to promote a stigma-free and inclusive environment.
That being said, the participants were given the option to share their background stories if they wished to do so.
