Glass Children

Description

This is my interpretation of a glass child.

A glass child is the sibling of a child with a disability, and because of this, their parents neglect them. On occasion, the child can be severely neglected, and this can cause psychological issues as they get older. These children are referred to as "glass children", because they sometimes feel like they're made of glass, and no one can see them.

So, I tried to draw it. The child is locked in a dark, empty room, to represent loneliness and neglect. In the back corner there is a box, bowl of water, and bowl of food, to represent the bare minimum some children receive when they're a glass child. The teddy-bear, she feels, is her only friend. And her mouth is sewn shut, as her family never listened to her, so she never tried to speak anymore.
