"At Arm’s Length" delves into the nuances of male-to-male vulnerability, exploring the complex ways men can find intimacy, support, and understanding in each other.
At the heart of this exploration is Sam: a tall, eccentric yet soft-spoken young man who embodies both strength and fragility. With a unique ability to hold space for connection, Sam becomes a vessel through which vulnerability and empathy can flow freely. Our shared histories, marked by challenges and unresolved pain, draw us together, creating a profound sense of solace and mutual understanding.
This project is a visual diary, a love letter to Sam and the friendship that has emerged between us. It captures Sam in various stages of his daily life, revealing intimate glimpses of his routines and surroundings. In the studio, Sam transforms, taking on different identities, shapes, and roles—each a reflection of masculinity’s fluid nature.
Through these images, themes of identity, masculinity, and hidden trauma emerge, exploring how personal histories are embedded within our bodies.
"At Arm's Length" becomes both a personal journey of healing and a meditation on male intimacy and the importance of vulnerability.
