This body of work explores masculinity through the lens of vulnerability, connection, and hope. At a time when male loneliness is rising and often framed as a crisis caused by women decentering men, this work shifts the narrative—away from blame, toward responsibility.
Through abstract intimate visuals of (primarily Gen Z) men, the photographs highlight the power of deep, platonic male friendships as a step toward dismantling patriarchal isolation. It challenges the notion that masculinity must be rigid and self-contained, instead revealing moments of softness, support, and community.
In a society on the verge of collapse, this work aims to offer a bright light of hope, imagining a future where men are encouraged to hold and be held.
