Masculine fragility

Masculine fragility

This project took place towards the end of my first year of A-level art. I decided to take the ideas masculinity and the ways in which men are seen to the outside world and that this is predominantly done through clothing. This lead to my decision to work in ceramic as it is both a solid material but also extremely fragile which can shatter at any moment. Resulting in a holo structure mimicking the human form.
