Human Alphabet
After years of working as a commercial photographer, I started to ponder if I could create a communications campaign for happiness that benefits children. This sparked the idea of the Human Alphabet.
The Human Alphabet is a collaboration that has united thousands of children across the globe in a unique artistic co-creation. Alongside my team, I've photographed one letter per country, each shaped by approximately 500 children in each letter. So far, we have co-created 10 letters, bringing together over 4,000 children from 10 countries across four continents. The art created is more than just visual; it's a vehicle for "Kids Empowering Kids," with sales directly funding future art festivals and enabling more children to co-create art in nature.
The Human Alphabet project was launched by ABC Charity, a Swedish non-profit initiated by myself. ABC Charity is about to undergo an exciting transformation. In 2024, it will evolve into Happy Hearts, a Swedish registered foundation.
Happy Hearts is dedicated to empowering children through "the flow of happiness," a scientifically supported framework that nurtures well-being through art and nature. The Human Alphabet, at the heart of our mission, will continue to inspire and contribute under this new umbrella.
