With much-appreciated and helpful feedback, some details in the project were adjusted for the better.
The project will be hung on the wall at the hospital. Since the size of the canvas might be a little big, I was thinking of using some strong thumbtacks or nails to hold the canvas. Just because I know that when people write on it, I don't want it to fall. As for lighting, I think that there is no need for lighting for the moment, but I might change my mind at one point, depending on how it is looking so far. Also, because the project will be at the hospital, where there are already bright lights. In general, it will take a physical shape. The canvas is open to the public, and they will be able to write wherever they want on the canvas. Of course, with the key question on top, "What hurt your feelings today? or " How are you feeling right now and why?" Little and medium-sized bandaids are going to be hung on the wall, also for people to take and cover what they said with their "healing bandaids". The art piece will change over time due to public participation. As for how long the project will be at the hospital, I am still unsure. But it might be there until the canvas is full of writing that there is no more space.
Below is a sketch of how the art is going to be looking like :
