The Weight of Words

This week, November 14-18th is Anti-Bullying week so it seems an appropriate time to share some details on a mosaic I made last year which centers on the impact of being bullied. I called it ‘The Weight of Words’.

I started thinking about creating this mosaic during a period of time when my daughter was being bullied in high school. It was a difficult time for her, being on the receiving end of constant snide remarks and put-downs from her peers. I felt angry and frustrated with these children who could not see the impact of their words.
