Living marble.

This nude series is a monochromatic study of the male form, inspired by the anatomical precision and dramatic chiaroscuro of High Renaissance sculpture. By stripping away color, these photographs transform skin into stone, focusing on the interplay of shadow and light.

The choice of the male physique is a deliberate subversion of traditional visual power structures. As art historian John Berger once noted in Ways of seeing, "men act and women appear", suggesting that art has historically positioned the female body as an object to be looked at. By centering the male norm, this series seeks to disrupt that "surveyor/surveyed" dynamic and present the body as a stone-like permanence, rather than looking through it as an object of desire.
