Men centers on middle-aged and older men whose physical presence—unadorned yet deliberate—carries the weight of experience, vulnerability, and role-playing. Photographed shirtless from the waist up against a neutral backdrop, each subject is accompanied by a minimal prop—a snakeskin, an octopus, a collar of blood—symbolic fragments that suggest archetypes of king, warrior, shaman. These men share no singular identity but inhabit a space between assertion and exposure. Similar in age to the artist, they become reflective stand-ins in a restrained study of masculinity as a constructed performance. The series asks what remains when adornment is reduced to gesture, when symbols persist but certainties dissolve—presenting masculinity not as fixed, but as provisional, interpretive, and open to revision.
