«The story of suffering that left a scar… and now light pours in through that crack». Young Chiara Revelli recounts her experience of schizophrenia in an illustrated book filled with watercolor drawings. Through them, she renders visible the shifts in her inner life—the isolation, the turning inward—that have marked her journey. What emerges forcefully is the possibility of reckoning with that suffering through a creative path «where art becomes a tool for observing, exploring, and transforming one's inner world».
Through images and spare, simple words, she offers an invitation: do not shut yourself away. Ask for help when everything feels empty and pain strikes—as cutting and raw as only psychological suffering can be.
