This image was created by Charlie Mackesy who says: “I’ve always been frustrated with being British and male. It’s a difficult combination, the way we are constructed, because the only legitimate emotion is anger, and possibly mirth, but there is not a lot of legitimate emotion. I went through my own battles with mental health and probably one of the bravest things I ever did was to go and see a therapist, at a time when people were saying, ‘Why would you do that?’”. He goes on to say: “I began a conversation that allowed me to journey into my humanity and my history and to find ways of being freed from certain things. Being allowed to be who you are and realising that you are enough as you are is a fantastic discovery.”
