Addie the Elephant
Created by: The Bodie Hodges Foundation
Sponsored by: Juice Creative ER Recruitment
Location: Highcross Upper Mall – John Lewis bridge
Overview
Addie is grieving, he feels sad because his sibling has died. You will see his bright vibrant colours but come closer and explore how he really feels. Addie is trying to do normal things, like go to school, meet friends, and have fun but he has all these feelings inside.
We asked bereaved children and young people to design an elephant to show us what it feels like to grieve for their sibling, we then used their words and symbols.
