Shattering stereotypes

Society tells and expects men to behave a certain way to be viewed as 'strong men' and some of those ways are damaging as they force men to deny their natural humanity for fear of being seen as ‘feminine’. What results is toxic masculinity, which doesn’t only affect those around them but themselves as well.

This artwork is to show that here is power in rejecting societal ideals of masculinity and in shattering masculine stereotypes. It’s okay for men to be vulnerable and to simply be themselves in whatever way they choose to present. It does not make them less than.
