The Silent Waves


Recent findings show that in China, around 25% of teenagers said that they have experienced symptoms of depression. The Silent Wave is a story written based on the loneliness and depression I have gone through in my teenage years. The picturebook aims to highlight that gigantic force that overpowered me over the years and the inescapable moments we have all confronted.
