A personal study of my cross-cultural experience, addressing
conformity to gender role norms; hegemonic masculinity, self-
stigma and attitudes dictated by a dominant traditional culture. I
photographed a man in my cultural context, using powder as a
fresh, clean and absorbant metaphor to what it is to be human,
making the journey of the tear more striking. The tag captures a
sense of death removing any curtain - #everybodyknows men cry.
