Hell Yeah

This body of work is a social experiment—a commentary on the homoerotic nature of hyper-masculinity, aggression masquerading as a desire to be close. Through collages of sports, cars, muscles, men, wild cats and hints of queer embrace I am poking fun at the macho/hell yeah brother side of toxic masculinity that replaces intimacy with violence, material gain and machismo peacocking.
