Nature Boy
2020 #Illustration #RisoWhat is hunting a boy’s soft nature?
The concept behind the illustration series.
Throughout my life, I have felt the weight of societal expectations on how a boy should behave, and I've always felt uncomfortable about these limitations. In this project, I took a critical look at these expectations and used artificial products as a metaphor for the pressure to conform. I compared them with natural elements to illustrate the beauty of diversity and the damaging effects of conformity. I hope my work will inspire other boys to feel less alone and empowered to be proud of being theirselves, while also encouraging people to question and challenge traditional gender roles.
