Description

Some kids are being bullied because of who they are, how they behave, whom they hang with. Some kids are being bullied for no reason at all. Some kids are even bullied at home and have no choice but to get out and find another place, another town, other people to grow with and learn love and self esteem.
I made this picture as a homage to "Le Refuge", a French association that acts as a shelter for all the lgbt/queer teenagers out there who have nowhere else to go or nobody else to rely upon.
But what I described in my picture isn't only a French story, or even a lgbt story. It's a universal story. A sad story.
Let's try and be more aware of that, to prevent bullying as much as we can.

This piece would be perfect for a project we are developing -- an online gallery for artists who have been bullied or who explore the theme of bullying in their work. It's called the You Will Rise Project. Check it out here: youwillriseproject.com and read the "Submit Work" section for details about sharing your work on our site. Thanks!
