The 99 Faces Project is a striking photographic exhibit featuring 99 portraits: 33 people living with bipolar disorder, 33 with schizophrenia, and 33 people who love them—all presented without labels. This powerful mix shows mental illness as a spectrum affecting all of us, breaking down stigma through the simple truth: anyone can be touched by mental health challenges, but recovery and full lives are possible. The exhibit combines portraiture, video, science, and personal stories to spark empathy and hope.

 

What might change in the way we see each other if we removed labels and just looked at the people beneath them?
