About Clematis
Clematis is a flower that has the meaning of mental beauty. The Clematis flower was chosen as this projects title and logo because it was the perfect representation for what this project is about. Clematis is a project that was made in order to address mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. This project was framed around COVID-19 because it is something that has been very much top of mind for a lot of people within the last year. Since the start of the pandemic mental health has been something that has been very prevalent and something that is important, more now than ever, to talk about. This 2020 pandemic has brought up new issues and understandings of mental health as people who have never really struggled with mental health before are now suddenly struggling for the first time. So, this project was created to be able to help these kinds of people as well as those who have struggled with mental health pre-pandemic. The goal was to create something that could help people get through the pandemic and feel less isolated. Clematis tries to answer the question of how a pandemic affects mental health and what might help people exercise good mental health habits? These questions are being explored through the Clematis Hobby Book, the Clematis Journal, and through this website for the project. Clematis is a project meant to be there for those who might need a little extra help and encouragement through these difficult times.
