"I was also inspired to create this picture due to the global situation in 2020 with Covid and I feel that it is even more important to be aware of Mental health, especially in teenagers, boys, and men. I feel my picture has deep connotations of keeping strong and can be linked with someone's inner mental state of mind.

Secondly, I have known a few young adult men who have sadly suffered from depression and tragically taken their own life. Recently whilst out on a walk, I helped a young individual who felt like there was no way out and had lost all hope. Chatting with him made me realise what a massive problem there is in society and that we need to be there for each other, friends, family, and strangers in the community.

So I am donating £1.00 for every Seas the Day artwork purchased to the charity MIND."

Seizing the day means that you are making the most of your day and not putting things off or relying on the future. It has a great feel to it, it's inspiring, and it can be a pretty motivating reminder to not let the day you're in pass you by due to circumstances outside of your control. When you seize the day, you live in the present moment and get busy living life, and feel more empowered. It can benefit your health and happiness in many ways, and you will become more aware of opportunities that are present and take action on those opportunities.
