DEFIANCE is my 2010 personal project, expressing my defiance towards my conservative and sexually-repressive Burmese culture.
ARTIST STATEMENT
A collection of images that the norm considers "questionable and explicit," I am creating stylized images paying tribute to the masculine form.
The project is a duet, exploring homoeroticized display of the elusive and sexualized beauty of the male form. Defiance is my personal sojourn on blurred boundaries, challenging the status quo images of the fine-art male nudes. By earning trust and confidence from my subjects, I gain access to their private sanctum, where they permit me to photograph their sexual-self, leaving nothing to my imagination.
