MATIJA 2

Created in 2020

From the series "Men & Flowers Can Coexist." ''Men & flowers can coexist'': As someone that comes from a very ‘‘men don’t cry’’ society, the male figure has always lacked in fragility for me. Therefore, I’ve always believed in the seductress of male bodies, and in its equality with the aesthetics and beauty of the female body.

Once I settled in The Netherlands, I decided to start a project wherein I capture manhood along with the delicacy of such a frailness symbol as a flower. I’ve captured so far Dutch and Cuban men, friends I have meet along the way, that share the view of the series; men that are committed with the equality of men and women and reprobate toxic masculinity.
