This project explores whether art can reduce stigma around mental health and neurodiversity. Through community-based exhibitions, participatory coloring events, and fundraising for autism support organizations, the artist reframes help-seeking as acceptable and shared. The work positions art as a tool for visibility, dialogue, and collective healing.

This research explores masking, unmasking, and disclosure among autistic individuals. Through interviews and surveys, the study shows masking is exhausting and harmful, while unmasking and disclosure can reduce stress and foster authenticity—but only in supportive environments. Findings highlight the need for societal change to genuinely accept autistic people and their differences.
