Our Mission
At the heart of Frogmented Feelings lies a profound mission – to foster empathy, understanding, and to create a dialogue around mental health and invisible disabilities. We recognize that these are sensitive subjects, often challenging to express in conventional ways. Through our art, we aim to break down barriers, reduce stigma, and encourage open conversations about the experiences of individuals facing these issues.
Advocating Awareness
Beyond our art, Frogmented Feelings is committed to advocacy. We actively participate in initiatives and campaigns that promote mental health awareness and support for those with invisible disabilities. We collaborate with organizations, share personal stories and engage in community events to further our mission.
Our Purpose
By presenting the Frogmented Frogs in this way, Frogmented Feelings aims to send a powerful message:
Breaking Stigma: The frogs challenge the stigma often associated with mental health issues and invisible disabilities. They encourage people to acknowledge and discuss their emotions, knowing that they are not alone in their struggles.
Embracing Vulnerability: The frogs invite individuals to embrace their vulnerability as a source of strength. Just as the frogs are resilient despite their broken appearance, people can find strength in acknowledging and addressing their emotional challenges.
Fostering Empathy: These sculptures foster empathy and understanding among viewers. They encourage open conversations about mental health, emotional well-being, and the hidden battles that many face.
Promoting Awareness: The frogs serve as a powerful conversation starter and a means of raising awareness about mental health and invisible disabilities. They inspire individuals to look beyond appearances and offer support to those who may be silently struggling.
In essence, the broken Frogmented Frogs are a visual representation of the human condition, reminding us that it's okay to be vulnerable, that strength can be found in resilience, and that acknowledging our emotions is a step toward healing and greater understanding.
