Struggle

This image is a continuation of my series into appreciating the curves and beauty of large
men. Although titled "Struggle" it can be interpreted from a different angle depending on
your perspective in life. The choice for this model also served to emphasis the theme.

For me the struggle is that of a person and his/her emotional obstacles, how easy it is to
entangle oneself into a corner when in fact one is free to liberate if only one actually
can "see" it and learn to let go.

Everyone's struggles are unique, though we share similar stories which we share and help
alleviate the pain of going though the process.

Arts has always been my hobby since young, dabbling with painting, sketching, craft-work and the digital media. I started photography only in recent years and enjoyed exploring various styles, it is a means for me to find a balance presenting both truth and fiction; Conveying the captured moment of the vision in my mind's eyes to the viewer is exhilarating and actually cathartic too. I relish every opportunities to create and produce interesting still and moving images that create a juxtaposition to highlight certain relationships.
