Relinquished Propriety
Relinquished Propriety is a digital work exploring stigmas revolved around masculinity stereotypes and societal constructs. Highlighting masculine features with soft lighting, contrasted with delicate butterflies creates a cohesive juxtaposition which creates an opportunity for further study to be conducted on what masculinity is and the effects these stigmas have.
