These are portraits of men who have tough facial features in a
feminine historical hairstyle. The goal is to raise awareness of
social stereotypes and to illuminate how much social media
determines the way we see another human being from a different
background than ours.

I made those four portraits with different characters with mixed
backgrounds and ethnicities. If you cover the upper part of the
picture and try to imagine how these men look, you will have a
very different imagination from what the portraits show.
