Fighting Demons
Book
2022
This Final Year Project took a lot of courage and care to make.
Li Xuan made sincere connections with her subject - waiting during mundane moments and worrying during life-threatening ones.
The resulting book is a rare intimate look at a teenager and her family’s struggle with suicide and the national mental health system.
The story was published in the national broadsheet(with an accompanying microsite). Li Xuan was also given the Objectifs Documentary Award in 2022 for her work here.
She archives her work on this site.
