The mental health campaign ‘Seek the Light’ was created by myself to honour my friend Zane who sadly took his own life early last year. Accepting Zane’s passing was a very hard pill to swallow, and so were the other 5 who also took their own lives that I had either briefly met, or had been relatives/family friends of the people I love. If Zane and the hundreds of other Kiwis had seen a message, a billboard like the ones I have created, maybe it would have been the sign they needed to get help. My inspiration for Seek the Light was to be different from other mental health campaigns. I didn’t want dark colours or depressing images to advertise depression but instead, inspirational messages that people can look at and bright colours to symbolise hope.
