Artwork title : The vulnerable man

This series talks about male vulnerability. Where is a man allowed to be vulnerable? They teach us that men do not cry, they should not be sensitive, they should not be weak, they should not show fear, men have to “act like a man”

Where man allows himself to be vulnerable, where he can free himself from this armor imposed by society and collective beliefs, where he can be human and not a superhero, where he can stop pretending that everything is fine. Probably in solitude, in the shower, where the tears mix with the water and it is difficult to differentiate them, in a contained space where his echo responds to him and the 3 walls that surround him welcome him, to later go out and continue acting like everything is fine .
