We Represented Mental Illnesses Through Conceptual Portraits

ADVERTISEMENT

The DEFINE project is a collaboration between a photographer, a clothing company, and a textiles designer who all have one thing in common – they want to end the stigma and start the conversation around mental health by showing a raw and personal side to the struggles of real people.

For the first iteration of this project, Role Models were cast from across Eastern Canada; from Toronto to Fredericton to Halifax. From over 200 submissions we narrowed it down to one brave person to represent each of the nine categories.

    Amazing. Just one issue. There aren't any guys in the picture. Even though women are more prone to mental illness (that's a fact), a ton of guys also suffer from mental illness. Take me, my dad, both grandpas, my stepdad, stepbrothers, a couple of my friends, a ton of family friends, and a friend's dad, who recently committed suicide. Include men too. Race as well. Not too much diversity
