The result of that partnership resulted in The Bully Project Mural, a digital destination where people can share art, stories, and perspectives about bullying, this global human rights issue, its impact, and how we — the creative community — can help affect change for children around the world. All the artwork and projects found within
this Behance project come from the Behance creative community.

Empowering, shocking, sad, beautiful – the art of The BULLY Project Mural elicits a range of emotions as it stitches together the personal stories and artistic expressions of people who have witnessed or been victims of bullying.

of Academy Award winning director Lee Hirsch’s documentary, BULLY.
The exhibit and session engaged hundreds of our employees and their guests on the topic of bullying and provided an exclusive post-screening Q&A with Lee himself to talk through the making of the film, how kids, like Alex Libby, from the film are doing today, and the next steps in the fight against bullying. The evening ended with a strong takeaway—it begins with one.
Each artist got one tile to work with. The finished piece was referred to as "The Sweet 16" and comprised the centerpiece of the Bully Project Mural. Besides being personal and powerful statements from each artist about bullying, the ensemble piece is also an expression of the endless possibilities of Creative Cloud.

A single chess piece against many opponents on an abstract chessboard. Showing the overwhelming inequality
of bullying in the unpredictable environment of growing up.

Protect something precious, helpings hands we see it almost as a statue, that tries to help
something very precious. white is also colour of hope. It symbolizes that we all have to work together to solve
the problem of bullying.

The word "Tell", composed in bubbly letters is standing out from the word "Hell", composed in graffiti letters.
The use of speech can break down the violence cycle and its dramatic consequences.

Bullying is a variant of racism based on social status driven by group dynamics. The most uneducated are
leading a mob of labile followers terrorizing persons not fitting their frame.

With this piece, beyond documenting a specific childhood memory, I hoped to evoke the feelings
of loss, upheaval and even fear bullying introduces unnecessarily into a child's life.

Bullying isn´t always physical or violent – it can also be about treating someone like air. Our artwork is inspired
by statues – a metaphor for not being treated like a person.

My response is based on the notion of acceptance and celebrating differences. My goal was to use
differing patterns and colors on confectionary, an inseparable part of childhood, as a visual metaphor.

“I am starting to think I don’t feel anymore” — Alex Libby. Inside a spiral of chaos and pain,
our mind builds up a shield that makes us impervious to anything coming from the outside.
At the end this shield is destroying us, as we are decomposing inside our entrapped thoughts.

There’s the necessity to keep your head up, to hug with people and spread love.
True Love will give you a colorful and strong “Love” feedback that generates beauty.

The main concept of my piece is 'Contrast'; a lighter and friendly area where coexistence, empathy,
harmony and color stand over broken, fragile and crushed symbolic elements dispersed in darkness.

In a world of beauty, the bully wants to control everything. He wants to convert each potential victim
in a trophy and for this, he offers generously his venom. In his soul the hate is stronger than love.
But he is not the pure evil, he is just blind...

In this project I wanted to do something dramatic. My inspiration was my childhood. I would like to picture
the essence of the destructive nature of verbal aggression by this photo-manipulation.

A portrait of an innocent fictional character, captured in a dreamlike state. Her face, illuminated
by the physically burned area, serves as a visual metaphor for the willpower to erase and oppose negative
memories and actions; to find the strength and courage in one's own inner self.

Sometimes the only escape from depression is to let your imagination take you somewhere else.
As a kid, I would look to the night sky to let my mind wander.

"I offer myself to all attacks, like some lonely rock in a shallow sea, which the waves never cease to beat upon
from whatever quarter they may come, but which they cannot thereby move from its place nor yet wear away,
for however many years they may unceasingly dash against it. Bound upon me, rush upon me,
I will overcome you by enduring your onset: whatever strikes against that which is firm and
unconquerable merely injures itself by its own violence.”
Seneca – Of a Happy Life, Book XXVII

I always work hard to develop my art that can speak both to me and to others.
I have been bullied all my life, but art was there for me.
