Delvings into the nuances of male-to-male vulnerability, this series explores the complex ways men can find intimacy, support, and understanding in each other.
At the heart of this exploration is Sam: a tall, eccentric yet soft-spoken young man who embodies both strength and fragility. With a unique ability to hold space for connection, Sam becomes a vessel through which vulnerability and empathy can be channeled.
Our shared histories, marked by challenges and unresolved pain, draw us together, creating a profound sense of understanding.
This project is a visual diary, a letter to Sam and the friendship that has emerged between us.
Through these images,themes of identity, and masculinity emerge, exploring how personal histories are embedded within our bodies.
