The Elephant in the Room

This powerful tableau captures the silent struggle of children who grow up unable to express their emotions. Two masked children sit at a table, their identities hidden, as they face an elephant—a symbol of the unspoken burdens they carry. Created by Robert Gray as part of his own journey to process past trauma, this image became the catalyst for Gray Matter Resiliency. What started as a deeply personal exploration grew into a mission to help others find their voice, process their pain, and heal through creative expression.
