Painting “I don’t belong here”

60 x 80 cm, acrylics on canvas.

Many neurodivergent people feel like aliens in this world, and Liisa Addi is no exception. As a child, she imagined that one day she would be taken back to her real world, even though these thoughts once filled her with shame. Today, Liisa allows her inner fantasy world to exist freely — through books, her own thoughts, and the ideas she shares with other neurodivergent people. In this way, she creates a space where her needs are seen and understood.
